42. Daily Practice or The Art of Doing It Just Because

We often find ourselves drawn to practices that shape our daily lives—not because they promise grand outcomes, but because they ground us in the moment and make us feel alive. Whether it’s meditating to clear the mind, running just to feel the rhythm, or making the bed each and every morning, these habits remind us that joy and purpose don’t always need a finish line. We explored how reframing these routines as acts of optimism, rather than obligations, can transform the experience.

Through our conversation, we discuss the idea that optimism isn’t just blind hope—it’s a deliberate choice to see possibility in every situation, something essential when making work. It’s about balancing discipline with spontaneity, and trusting that the next moment can be good even when the path isn’t clear. - Ai
