We do it, we forget, then we remember again. That’s why it’s a practice.
What’s a practice? Everything we do. Until we’re doing it without thinking. Until we’re doing it without thinking with proficiency. Until we’re doing it without thinking with excellence.
It’s all a practice.
Until we’re masters.
And the number of masters to have ever lived is smaller than we would like to think or than we would care to admit.
I’m a meditation practitioner, a philosophy practitioner, a weight lifting practitioner, a communications practitioner, a try not to be an asshole practitioner.
It’s all a practice.
We learn by doing.
We do it, we forget, then we remember again.
That’s why life is a journey and not a destination. We never arrive. Change is the only constant. We’re in a constant state of flux.
So we practice doing the things we want to do, the things we need to do, and the things we have to do.
We have to do, what we have to do.
It’s all a practice.
It’s why witnessing a masterpiece or being in the presence of masters of a craft has an almost universal emotional connection and appeal across demographics and generations. Rare isn’t the word for it. Language doesn’t do it justice.
What do we want to get better at? What do we need to improve? What must we learn?
We do it, we forget, then we remember again. That’s why it’s a practice.
