Mistakes are only mistakes if…

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Mistakes are opportunities. Every time we mess up — intentionally or not - there is a chance to learn and go to a new level. In fact, mistakes are only mistakes if we don’t learn from them.

Today, forgive yourself for something you’ve done in the past. Remember, when you fall, you learn.

Attached at the Hip

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

The Zohar, the main text of Kabbalah explains that from the moment we come out of the womb, we have our partner - the Opponent - attached at the hip. And it’s always there to challenge us.

Our mission is to search for and defeat this enemy within. But, at the same time, we have to keep in mind that fighting our dark side pushes us to greatness.

Today, get to your next level. Get out of your comfort zone. Really connect to the lasting fulfillment that you deserve.

Something for Nothing

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

We each come to this world to earn our fulfillment. That is why, when we receive something for nothing, we feel a certain degree of resentment or unworthiness. The Kabbalists call this feeling “bread of shame”. This feeling arises because our soul is of the Light, and it’s not in the Light’s nature to be a non-sharing receiver.

Today, find out where you enable other people to feel this shame because you give them something for nothing. It could even be too much attention, or control over you, or plain old money. Figure it out and remember that by not allowing people to earn their fulfillment, you are keeping them from their true purpose.
