Have you all been listening to Michael Stone's excellent podcast from his Centre of Gravity?
You ought to subscribe to it.
I'm sorry, but I can't find the talk from which I'm quoting to directly link — you'll have to listen to them all — but there was one, however, in which he stressed the importance of knowing what you want.
This is a practice that has become for me over the years a process. I would encourage it. What do you want? Why do you practice?
One of my favorite responses is from Shauna in Portland: "I practice because it makes me more patient."
For my part, my wife is my (unfortunate for her) sounding board: she gets to listen to what I want and why I practice.
The asking and answering of a question also implies a conversation between teacher and student. This is vital and important. One should have a teacher who knows you well enough to ask, "What do you want?"
