💡 Daily Practice

Notice today when you're in breakthrough versus when you're in steady progress. Honor both as necessary.

Modern Context

We want constant breakthrough, missing the value of incremental progress. This teaching honors both sudden insight and steady development. Applies to learning, growth, and patience.
