Your Thoughts Are Seeds — Plant Wisely

BS’D

“Thoughts are not fleeting—they are spiritual creations with eternal impact.”

Our Chassidic masters teach that thoughts are like water—constantly in motion and capable of nourishing the soul. When rooted in holiness, thoughts create positive spiritual energy and even affect others for the good.

But what happens when the mind is filled with Pharaoh-like negativity—thoughts that say “you can’t,” “you’re stuck,” or “you’ll never change”?

We battle those inner voices with intentionality. Emuna teaches us that we are not victims of our thoughts—we are their stewards.

Here are a few powerful tools for reshaping your inner world:

  • Fill your mind with Torah – an empty mind attracts negative thoughts.

  • Visualize Hashem’s presence – see yourself being lifted, supported, and loved.

  • Cry out for help – the Torah is your weapon against the yetzer hara.

  • Begin your day with gratitude – it resets your emotional tone.

Remember: You choose what to do with each thought.

The Wrong Desire


Many of us on the spiritual path are driven to experience something other than what we’re experiencing right now. That’s not a desire for enlightenment. That’s a desire to escape.
