Maintaining a Steady Practice
Now
if the practice is so good for us, why is it so difficult to maintain a
steady practice? It may be that the notion that practice is 'good for
us' is the very impediment—we all know how we can resist what is good
for us at the table, at the gym, and on the Internet. This mechanical
notion of practice, 'if I practice, then I will be (fill in the blank),'
leads to discouragement because it is not true that practice inevitably
leads to happiness or anything that we can imagine.
