What Makes Us Willing?
The willingness to surrender to the truth of experience is crucial for awakening.
But what precipitates the willingness to stop resisting?
I think for many it's being fed up with suffering.
For some maybe it's curiosity around what would actually happen if they didn't listen to the parts of them that are insisting that they continue fighting against what is.
And for others maybe it's the recognition that circumstances can't determine happiness and that we'll be essentially okay no matter what happens.
