道 DO(U) or MICHI means "way", "path", "route" in Japanese. This Kanji character 道originates from China, as it is more widely known as DAO / TAO and with the philosophy of Taoism. In Japanese spiritual practices, you may have heard, Tea Ceremony as Way of Tea (茶道Sadou), Flower Arrangement as Way of Flower (華道Kadou), Karate as Way of Karate (空手道Karatedou) , Way of AIKI, Aikido (合気道） etc..

We tend to focus on the destination, the goals and tend to forget the beauty of where we are now.
This philosophy of Dou, the WAY is simply to focus on now and dedicate fully to what we are given to do now, given to practice now, without the negative self-talk of "I am not there yet", as the negative energy blocks our path.

Once we are on the path, we trust the path and focus on each step and simply keep walking. We are what we do.

This is an episode of "5 minutes on Japanese Wisdom" by Azumi Uchitani, once a week, introducing the Japanese life philosophy that brings inner peace.
