Why has the phrase “one-day monk” come to refer to someone who cannot continue something?
Born in the morning, and dying at night when falling asleep.
This way of thinking is called being a “one-day monk.”
I have only recently begun practicing the one-day monk mindset.
Since I am not yet used to it, some side effects have appeared.
For example, I have the task of “organizing my desk.”
Naturally, it cannot be completed in a single day.
When that happens, I end up blaming myself, thinking that I have died without finishing it.
However, the true essence of being a one-day monk is not to finish things.
It is to begin them.
Indeed, if I had not encountered the idea of being a one-day monk, I probably would not have started
organizing my desk at all.
From the perspective of the one-day monk, its role is fulfilled the moment one begins.
And that is why I was able to write this blog today.
It is one step of growth.
