From My Notebook

Challenges are always uncomfortable and its hard to see their benefit. However, it is challenges that help us develop our character and embrace our true self.

Sometimes we don't know the full value of what we have until it is pointed out to us, or taken away.

It is important that you see yourself for who you really are. Don't let others false image of you become your identity. Instead, embrace your true self.

The ability to wait and put off satisfaction not only cultivates resilience, it also allows us to have a higher level of joy.

The Baal Shem Tov saw the potential in others and supported them to become the best versions of themselves.

It is important to keep the proper perspective on life so that we stay realistic and positive.

How we view the world influences our understanding of the world itself.

Staying inspired and motivated helps us to keep our internal light burning.

Just as important as keeping your battery charged is making sure that you stay connected. If your battery is fully charged but you have a loose connection, you won't be able to stay charged.

Prioritizing properly can help us avoid making unnecessary mistakes.
