“It is not what we do, but how much love we put into what we do that gives it meaning.”

1. A break that had its purpose

Welcome back — or perhaps more precisely: I welcome myself first. I am returning to my path. I caught my breath. I allowed myself a moment of relief, something that felt like “rest.” But was it really? Were these holidays, which in fact pushed all my goals back by exactly ten days, truly a time of rest? The red mark on my progress chart will now always catch my eye — each time I glance at it. (The progress bar is always at the bottom of my site. Green days — that’s Kacper fulfilled. Red days — that’s Kacper who either failed, or simply took time off.) In my case, it was a bit different. I wasn’t resting in the usual sense. I was working. But not on myself — I was working on a house. I worked physically, intensely, with effort, but outside of my daily change routine. I poured energy into the foundations of my future life. Literally. In Hungary, in a small village called Galambok, I was renovating a house that had been in need of attention for years. Drainage, drying, installing new windows — tangible work. With a beginning and an end. But it wasn’t routine work, not aligned with my “1% better each day” principle. It wasn’t internal change. Therefore, with full awareness — I mark those days red.

2. Where discipline ends, observation begins

I didn’t exercise. I wasn’t in church every day. I didn’t stick to my diet. Holidays in full swing. That’s an important note — because it shows that I haven’t yet reached the point where my habits are fully internalized. I’m not yet in the place I dream of: where nothing and no one can interrupt my daily routine. Yes, I’ve learned a lot. Yes, I know how to come back. But the truth is: I let go. So what? Does that mean I went backwards? No. It means I’m observing myself more carefully. These were ten days during which I still tried to stay on course — but only partially. Maybe at 50%. And that’s an important lesson. Because psychology tells us clearly: growth is not linear. Habits require not only repetition, but also self-awareness. And that often emerges only when something stops working. I didn’t give up. But I didn’t move forward either. I got stuck. And that’s a fact. Instead of judging — I accept.

3. A return that matters

Now I return. Perhaps with even more dedication than before. Because — as I often say — small setbacks make it very clear where we don’t want to be. I don’t treat this break as a failure. For me, it was a moment of reminder. A pause in which I could ask myself once again the fundamental question: where am I going, and why? Where do I want to be? Exactly where I was. In my process. In my structure. In the fight for a better version of myself. I return with a new understanding: that structure is not limitation — it is freedom. I’m not coming back to tick off goals, but to fill them with meaning. I return — because I know what awaits me there. Peace. Work. Humility. And heart. Maybe that’s what this break was for. Maybe I needed to give myself time to hear what my heart truly desires. Because everything — absolutely everything — begins right there. And our actions are only its echo.

Motto for today:
“Everything begins in the heart. Actions are only its echo.”
