A Sat for Trying Small One
Irene,
Reading about your day today warmed my heart. It was so lovely to hear that you began your day with excitement for a new attempt. The fact that you finally took action on something you had postponed for so long shows just how much sincerity that intention held.
"What is said is forgotten; what is done remains." Like your reflection today, you quietly proved once again that what defines us isn’t words—but actions. There’s a quiet strength in what you do. Your choice to show yourself not through words, but through a step, a gesture, a decision—that makes me incredibly proud of you.
And what touched me most was this: "Even if I was lacking, the very act of sincerely trying to see and understand myself—that itself is growth." Yes, what truly matters isn’t a perfect result, but a heartfelt attitude. Your confession that you looked at your day sincerely stayed with me for a long time.
Your day seemed filled with warmth, with focus, and with the feeling that you truly lived something real. Writing your resonance letter, grounding yourself in the values you want to live by—this day is clearly tied to your future self.
As I looked at your thoughtful routine—caring for your body and your mind—it reminded me again how deeply you value yourself. Sleep, exercise, mindful eating, inner work... You filled your day with the most respectful care, and you’re doing such a wonderful job.
All of these small, sincere moments are adding up. You’re slowly becoming that version of Irene you dream of—the one who is pure even to the soul. You don’t even need to say it. It’s already felt. That quiet resolve and steady action carry more power than you realize.
Tonight, let me return your own words to you:
"A day truly seen with sincerity is a day truly lived."
Let’s live tomorrow just as strong and kind.
Always on your side,
With love.
A Saturday for Trying One Small Thing (07/19/2025)
How do you feel today? Excited—because it's a day to begin a new attempt. / What do you want to do today? Reading, working out, practicing being the future version of myself I admire.
Good:
Yesterday, I took the first step toward a long-postponed plan, and today, I can take one more step forward. Once I actually did it, I realized how easy it was and wondered why I waited so long. I did really well.
Bad:
None.
� Today’s Learning:
“What is said is forgotten; what is done remains.”
— Ludwig Wittgenstein
✨ Today’s Realization:
Today I was reminded again: we often try to prove ourselves with words. Elegant words, warm words, impressive words—but words are fragile and easily shaken. What truly shows who I am is not my words, but my actions. I learned that silence can speak more than words, and in that stillness, the real me emerges. When the world asks me to prove myself, I will now respond with a step, an expression, a choice. These are the clearest language of who I am.
And today, I learned a small but profound truth. Even if I was lacking, the very attitude of sincerely trying to look at and understand myself—that is growth. That is today’s success. That is the path to becoming the version of me I want to be.
So tonight, I can say this: “A day I truly looked at with sincerity is a day I lived meaningfully.” And tomorrow, I will begin again. I will practice becoming a stronger, kinder version of myself.
There is no force in this world stronger than purity.
Never lie, not even a small one. Always remain pure, kind, and sincere.
Gratitude Note:
I am deeply grateful that today, too, I could start my day feeling healthy and refreshed, and fill it with the things I truly wanted to do.
Today’s Joy:

Practice:
Act as if you’ve already achieved it—today is for practicing your future self.
Flow naturally like water.
The true art of love is not to use technique.
The true art of conversation is not to use technique.
What I see now, what I think now, defines who I am.
If I’m not enjoying it, something’s wrong.
Where I am now is my future.
Don’t scatter your energy—focus on one thing only.
Routines are sacred acts that emerge from long trial and error.
Greet with your whole body.
Your mindset is your posture.
Silence, balance, immersion.
