Everything Will Come Up

If you practice long enough, everything will come up, everything needs to come up. It's natural to prefer experiences that are relaxing, still, clear, profound, and these will come. But when your conditioning appears—all your opinions, problems, anger, wants, anxieties—instead of being disturbed or pushing them away, try being open to them, and see if they have something to teach. With time, although you may not get rid of them, you'll see them for what they are, you'll see their insubstantiality, and they'll naturally lose their grip so you're less likely to be pulled around by them.
