Participation Is Success

In contemplating the subject of practice success for this issue, I realize that it is my experience that participation in this practice is success itself.  Here a some pieces of encouragement that are near and dear to me and that I draw on in difficult times.

Just show up
It doesn't matter how slow you go, just don't stop
You can't do it wrong
Everything exists in center
We each have all we need each moment

I feel a lot of gratitude for the willingness that arises in response to the call of the practice of ending suffering.  What a miracle and a blessing it is to have that experience.
