Each one of us is a neshamah, a soul, placed in a body.

That body, with the neshamah, was born to this man and woman, at this time, in this place, with a specific role, one that will take a precise amount of years, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

What a shame it is that some of us don’t show up for our own lives.

Stop focusing on Hashem’s domain – how we would like things to be – and start focusing on your own domain, doing what you’re meant to do.

Let Hashem be Hashem and you be you.

In the powerlessness comes power, when we admit that we’re not in control of the world, but we are in control of our own lives, and we’re here to make the right choices.

That’s what it means to show up for your own life.
