Could you please explain why we occasionally feel stagnant and unable to change, why we sometimes struggle to pursue our own desires, why we appear to actively resist our own growth, and why it is so difficult for us to fully accept ourselves as we are?

Hey everyone, I want to give you all a warm welcome and really encourage you to seriously and playfully engage with the practices and course materials. Please always be respectful and kind to each other and really try to bring awareness to every interaction; it's a great way to support each other's practice.
