At the heart of it, mastery is practice. Mastery is staying on the path.

George Leonard

How do you best move toward mastery? To put it simply, you practice diligently, but you practice primarily for the sake of the practice itself.

George Leonard

The path of the Warrior is lifelong, and mastery is often simply staying on the path.

Richard Strozzi-Heckler

We must begin our practice by walking the narrow path of simplicity, the hinayana path, before we can walk upon the open highway of compassionate action, the mahayana path.

Chogyam Trungpa

Practice is the price of mastery. Whatever you practice over and over again becomes a new habit of thought and performance.

Brian Tracy

The quality of your practice is ultimately measured by its effect on the quality of your life. In other words, mastery in yoga is mastery of life.

Rod Stryker

Martial arts is a life journey. One of the things my teacher taught me a long time ago was that everyone's path to the mastery of a certain system is different. Some people's path is a very direct route, where others might wind back and forth if you are injured or something.

Ryan Potter

Mastery is the art of setting your foot on the path.

George Leonard

Mastery requires endurance. Mastery, a word we don’t use often, is not the equivalent of what we might consider its cognate—perfectionism—an inhuman aim motivated by a concern with how others view us. Mastery is also not the same as success—an event-based victory based on a peak point, a punctuated moment in time. Mastery is not merely a commitment to a goal, but to a curved-line, constant pursuit.

Sarah Lewis

It's easy to get on the path of mastery. The real challenge lies in staying on it.

George Leonard

I can slay a devil when I see one, Steady practice mastery of self so not to be one

Jay Electronica

The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice.

Joyce Meyer

The Tathagatha... is the originator of the path unarisen before, the producer of the path unproduced before, the declarer of the path undeclared before. He is the knower of the path, the discoverer of the path, the one skilled in the path. And his disciplines now dwell following that path and become possessed of it afterwards.

Gautama Buddha

Life is the path. Can the path be seen? Observe the path and you are far from it. Without observation how can one know they are on the path? The path cannot be seen, nor can it not be unseen. Perception is delusion; abstraction is nonsensical. Your path is freedom. Name it and it vanishes.
