Everything is going to be ok in the end.  If it is not ok, it is not the end.

It’s not about saying no to things that we are not able to do.  It’s about saying yes to serving Hashem and doing the best that we can! ~ R’ Joey Haber

Today is the first day of Av.  The gemara states “Just as when the month of Av begins we decrease our happiness, so too, when Adar begins we increase our happiness.” ~ Ta’anit (29a)

R’ Paysach Krohn points out that the gemara does not state to avoid happiness altogether, but rather to merely “decrease” our happiness.  That is because a Jew always has to remain happy.

When you overcome even a minor temptation, you receive a great light and experience unlimited joy.  The greater the temptation of the evil inclination, the greater the ecstasy of overcoming it. ~ R’ Yeruchem Levovitz zt”l

Don’t allow the fear of “What if?” to ruin the joy of “What is.”

We are so busy with the first look, with what we see externally.  We need to look deeper, to take a second look, and see what is going on inside. ~ R’ Zecharia Wallerstein

When Hashem blesses a human being with wealth, He is in reality appointing that person as a trustee to apportion the funds to the needy.  If one fulfills his duty with fidelity, Hashem raises his rank and appoints him over an even greater treasure. ~ R’ Shimon Shkop zt”l

It’s funny because we ask Hashem to change our situation, not knowing He put us in the situation to change us.

“Think good, and it will be good.” ~ The Tzemach Tzedek

The Lubavitcher Rebbe said to take this very seriously.  Just by thinking good and only good, you will create and attract good!

As long as someone believes that there is anything or anybody, left in the world that can solve their problem – other than Hashem – they’ll be stuck with the problem. ~ R. Lazer Brody
