There is a constant battle of thoughts about how you can make progress from the place where you are. And also how to feel happy about it. And despite making progress, the feeling of happiness is most elusive!
Practically all decision-making advice focuses on following a forced routine. You call it a schedule, discipline. It is a plan of how to spend the most precious entity everyone grapples with - time!
It offers a way to make you do pre-planned things when you cannot bootstrap yourself. If you follow this mechanism for an extended period, the hope is that it becomes a good habit that your mind-body clock will keep up with for an extended period.
Your desire to progress and do planned things gives you a sense of accomplishment and self-belief. Practicing a planned schedule is good for getting there.
But why do you get bored once you reach a place of accomplishment? If Practice makes you perfect and disciplined and helps you achieve, shouldn't that suffice for your happiness? Why do we keep planning the Practice but change the environment where we Practice?
Turns out, you need help finding your calling simply with Practice! Your inner self has yet to discover your voice for when it feels like expressing itself. Rituals are a way to follow disciplined Practice. But it is an artful submission into a routine where the force to do anything is removed from the equation. You are at your best, learning, acquiring, giving, imagining, and creating.
The surrounding environment and its traits are rarely an obstacle for the Rituals. They gain energy and enthusiasm by doing beneficial acts and get fulfillment from being self-initiator. External factors such as achievements, recognitions, or pats have little meaning with Rituals.
If you practice a schedule of Ritual, you are deliberate, immersed, and content. Change is hardly a requirement!
