It's more like a realization that the path is long. When you start, you expect to know nothing; you barely realize you're on a path. Then, after a while of practice (six months? A year? Two? more?) you feel like you've made progress, and it feels good. Then there are days when you round a bend on the path and you see just how far it goes, and how relatively few steps you've actually taken. That's more like how it felt.
