Why I Write Letters to Myself—And Why You Should Too
Many leaders write letters to themselves—not because they’re lost, but because they’re deeply connected to where they’re going.
Self-writing is clarity. It’s alignment. It’s a quiet but powerful act of leadership.
Here’s a short note I wrote to myself this morning. Maybe you need to hear it too:
Dear Masood,
What a gift it is to wake up surrounded by blessings.
This day—this very one—will never come again. Let it count. Make it a meaningful step toward your bigger dreams. Connect every task, every decision to the future you’re building.
You just drank lemon water to detox your body—now detox your thoughts, too. Let go of doubt. Release the past.
Breathe deeply.
You are loved.
You are blessed.
Reach out to the people who matter. Feel their presence. Let gratitude be your fuel.
Now ask yourself: What do I want to create today? What truly matters?
Let’s begin.
—Masood
