““Today, as you prepare for beginning the third week of practice I encourage you to write down some things that you may have noticed that appear to hinder your practice. Write down things like “I get busy”, or “I sleep too late” or “I am too tired”, or even “It is too confusing”. Whatever the obstacle is write it down, try to do so without guilt, and try not to have too much remorse. Just be honest, that is also a key practice in Buddhism, to get to know ourselves in a frank and honest manner so that we can begin to work on changing the things that are preventing us from becoming happy.””
