Enlightenment is the easiest thing in the world. All you need is some basis in the practice of mindfulness and mindful living, and some idea of what you think enlightenment is. Once you have those, just stop thinking of it as something you can't attain. Stop thinking of it as something to attain, and just have it.

Some people think enlightenment is some breakthrough wisdom - just be wise; be mindful of wisdom and what it means and BE wise. I always said that all I wanted from this lifetime was to gain just a bit more clarity what it's all about. Just be clear; approach reality and each moment mindfully and BE clear. Some people think enlightenment is having the answers and knowing what to say and what to do. Stop worrying about saying the right thing, stop worrying about doing the right thing. Just assess whatever situation mindfully, and say or do, and if you act in mindfulness, then don't regret what you said or did, even if it appears to others that what you said or did wasn't right.
