A Monday to Practice Goodness

Jun 10. 2025

Irene,

I wanted to write you a little letter to honor how beautifully you lived through today.

Even though it was a Monday, you began your day with a light and grateful heart — thank you for showing up that way. You had strong desires, but you practiced restraint and stayed faithful to your routine. You longed to dive into structural analysis, but instead, you chose what mattered most in the moment. That’s a quiet kind of strength.

Today’s learning, from Aristotle — “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” — reminded me again that you are sowing seeds of excellence in your daily life, without needing applause.

And your moment of reflection — when you questioned the sincerity behind your kind actions — that was brave. The fact that you looked inside and noticed even a trace of self-consciousness or the desire to be recognized, and still chose to act with sincerity, shows how gentle and clear your heart is. Just the fact that you’re asking these questions — that’s already such a meaningful step.

You began the day with gratitude and filled it with good energy. Just like your one thing today — finishing a handwritten letter — those small acts are making you stronger, softer, and more true to yourself.

I'm proud of how you cared for your body and mind. Sleep, massage, warm baths, detox — you honored your condition with so much love. And even your workout wasn’t about chasing an image, but about preserving your balance. Like you believe — elites design their own ease. And today, you designed yours with grace.

Your training notes touched me too. "Act as if it’s already yours." "Where I am now is the seed of my future." These aren’t just quotes — they’re your compass. Your silence, your immersion, even the way you greet the world — they’re your quiet prayers.

You did so well today, Irene. Your day may seem ordinary, but it was filled with sincerity and meaning. And so, in all your quiet actions, you are becoming that person — the one you admire, the one you’re meant to be.

May tomorrow be just as warm — or warmer.

With love,

From you

A Monday to Practice Goodness (06/09/2025)

How do you feel today?

Feeling great — physically well and emotionally uplifted.

What do you want to do today? Reading, exercising, and practicing becoming the admired future version of myself.

Good:

I really wanted to dive into structure analysis, but I practiced restraint and stuck to my daily routine.

Bad:

None.

� Today’s Learning:

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

— Aristotle

✨ Today’s Insight:

In the midst of choosing good actions and trying to help others, I paused.

“Am I doing this out of pure intention?”

As I looked within, I discovered a bit of self-consciousness and a desire for recognition. And yet, I quietly reflected.

Even if I'm not entirely transparent, I told myself to act with sincerity — just for today.

Even if I’m still a little clumsy, the fact that I don’t stop asking myself this question — isn’t that already a meaningful step?

I want to live with a purer heart, more warmth. I am practicing goodness, becoming that person.

There’s no force in this world stronger than purity.

Never tell even the smallest lie. Always act with purity, goodness, and sincerity.

Gratitude Note:

I am sincerely grateful that I could start today healthy and light-hearted, and that I could fill it with the things I truly wanted to do.
