Zen Wisdom for the New Year: Stop Waiting for Future Enlightenment

In this video, I talk about how we often make New Year’s resolutions, thinking that change will come in the future. From a Zen perspective, this mindset keeps us trapped in the illusion of time. We delay our own enlightenment by thinking that at some point, we’ll finally be ‘complete and whole.’ But Zen teaches us that the only moment we can truly act in is the present. I'll explain how we can reset our minds and experience clarity right now, without waiting for a future moment to make things different.
