If you have a fearless and noble, yet reflective, heart then the work is not difficult. If you don't (and believe me we don't) then the work is well-nigh impossible, yet all the more necessary. It is a path well-trodden, and thousands have made the same mistakes we are making, and have had the same insights we are having. There is nothing unique in our struggle or our journey – we are just one amongst countless who may or may not make it. Once we have the humility to face and accept this fact then our path will be truer; we will no longer be diverted by either the need to express (tell someone about it) or the need to understand (tell ourselves about it).
