The Practice is The Way

The Way is The Practice

I don’t think there’s a better word than practice to describe the concept of 道 do, which is mostly translated as the path or the way. The path or the way are both great terms, especially because there is no definitive end. They just go on for as long as they go on. But practice can do that too.

Sure, the term practice can have an end, but are you ever truly finished practicing something? Practice also has a connotation of getting better at something the longer you keep at it. That in itself is great motivation I find. And then, enough practice makes you perfect, of course.
