One of the purposes of ritual is to develop personal power, to make yourself strong first, so that you can then go out and help others become strong.
People often confuse ritual with routine, when in fact they are nearly opposite. Routines dull your senses and crush your spirit, whereas when practiced properly rituals can renew your mind and body.

Similarly, training in martial arts or calligraphy is never boring, or you are there for the wrong reasons.
