Enlightenment doesn’t mean getting all your ducks in order so that we can be happy. It is more deeply related to finding joy in every circumstance whether our ducks are in order or not. Is the notion of accepting where ever you are is exactly where you are supposed to be and your path is perfect unto you. The real fulfillment is in understanding that this journey, this moment can be fully enjoyed and experienced in its’ perfection without us having to control events, people and situations.
