“We can’t hide from life’s difficulties; no one asks us whether we’re prepared to undergo trials and tribulations – they appear in our lives whether we want them or not.  But, we do have the free choice of how we’ll cope with difficult situations.  Happy is the person that accepts life’s trying times with emuna, that they are all for the best; such a positive outlook assures that the tough situation will soon reverse itself.  Without emuna, a person is bitter, broken in spirit, disgruntled, and virtually defeated.  Bitterness and dark moods are a magnet for additional troubles, Heaven forbid.” ~ The Garden of Emuna

“Know that all these falls and descents, all the confusions and destructions, are an inevitable preliminary to entering the gates of holiness.  All the true Tsadikim and all the truly God-fearing have endured all this.” ~ R’ Nachman of Breslev zt”l

Today’s post is dedicated to the refuah shleimah of Yonatan Eliezer Ben Breindel

In every hardship, search for the spark of good and cling to it. The greater the hardship, the more wondrous the good it bears.

If you cannot find that spark, rejoice that wonder beyond your comprehension has befallen you.

Once you have unveiled and liberated the spark of good, it will rise to overcome its guise of darkness. It may perhaps even transform the darkness fully to light. ~ R’ Tzvi Freeman

“Astronomers have predicted that a comet would collide with the earth and cause much death, damage and destruction, but in fact it hasn’t happened.  Because man can say what he wants, but a human mind can never predict with certainty the will of the Almighty concerning this world.” ~ R’ Yosrael of Chortkov zt”l
