Enlightenment is not a smooth process. Be prepared to stumble, while also appreciating the lessons learned by trial and error. Enlightenment also comes with enjoyment of the process, finding the simple pleasures in learning a new way and being inspired by new goals. Buddha teaches that where you are in the present is exactly where you’re supposed to be, so don’t waste time on guilt, doubt, or worry—they’re worthless. Simply own your shoes and walk forward.
