Strengthening the Foundation

Today, I return to my practice. Like anything in life, the foundation matters most. Just as healthy soil and rich nutrients help roots grow strong and deep, building a solid base is essential. Only when the roots are firmly planted can flowers bloom and fruit appear. So today, I focus again on the basics.

Whatever the goal may be, a strong foundation helps us withstand hardship and stay the course. But laying that foundation is often harder than it seems. It takes patience, consistency, and a calm heart. If we approach each day with the mindset of quiet practice—slowly, steadily nurturing our core—I truly believe good things will come.
