Effort Does Not Change The Person

Effort has opened up a world to me which has led me to understand that it is grace. When my father passed away amidst what seemed like a set of unfortunate circumstances, I felt the family so touched by grace that his passing became a celebration. When something goes off key and feel dissonance inside, I become aware of the reaction. When a moment of gratitude arises, I become aware of the relationship(s).

Effort is grace…. I think that is what I was getting at in my response. And there is a dedication to the path in there too. Your words resonated with me. Thank you
