I think one can be far from wisdom, far from the end of the path, and still find each monent to be an opportunity to learn and to grow. In Three Pillars of Zen, some old proverb is quoted: when first one puts a foot upon the path of the Buddha, 10,000 Bodhisattvas spring up to assist one. In my path, I found once I started meditating, having read that there is nothing whatsoever to be clung to whatsoever as me or mine, then each situation taught me the great joy of dropping my preferences in the face of what is. I continue with preferences and my self idea, but the tiny shift in perspective allows each moment to be welcomed as a teaching even when not free of attachments to some idea of how I expected things to be. Your mileage may vary.
