Bruce Lee said he would rather fight a man who practiced 10,000 kicks one time each than a man who practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Since I’m preparing a course on meditation, this is most relevant. Many people when trying something new, such as meditation, will lose interest rather quickly when they don’t feel any different in short order.
The master has practices his craft thousands of times. Each hit, each kick, felt no different than the last. And yet, big changes have been made.
Huge leaps of progress are actually the result of thousands of small changes and improvements.
