Keep in mind that "getting enlightenment" (or liberation) is an ego strategy, and not likely to be completed in this life if it continues like that on the basis of "getting." Enlightenment is not something you "get", but something you surrender to. This does not remove the necessity for practices to achieve progress. But preparing for enlightenment is a letting go. A paradox. Not letting go of practices necessarily, but letting go of the ego-driven sense of entitlement.
