My New Year's insight:
The main barrier to awakening, to complete freedom, is complacency, the lack of drive, desire to be free. You've got to be really vigilant, and the moment you feel slightly off-center, caught up in the 'me,' self-judgment, resentment, an expectation, you've got to jump on it.You've got to stop and realize you're lost in a thought, you're telling yourself a story.

And you are not that, you are not the thought or story. Why? Because they come and go, but you are always here as this supremely aware, conscious being. Being very alert and present in this way is what it means to be a spiritual warrior, regardless of whether you happen to be a man or a woman.
