Five Reminders to Take to Heart

———

1. What you thought would complete you was never meant to.

It was meant to point you beyond yourself, toward a deepening connection to Hashem.

2. Life does not disappoint us by accident.

It disappoints the illusion so that the truth can emerge.

3. Peace begins the moment we start asking the right questions.

Stop asking:

* “Am I getting what I need?”

Start asking:

* “What lesson is Hashem teaching me now?”

* “What does Hashem want me to do in response to this situation?”

Stop asking life to serve you.

Start asking what you are here to serve.

4. Menucha deepens when you stop demanding that life satisfy you.

It grows when you let go of that demand.

5. Life was never meant to make you comfortable.

It was meant to help you grow and align with your neshama.

Be Good to Others

Goodwill is not a Pollyanna kind of wish, thinking that everybody’s going to be good, therefore I’ll be good to them. It’s because people are not going to be good many times that you’ve got to be good to them.

We must strive to have a heart BIGGER than the world.......
