Transformation Astronauts &  Empowerment

Hi

Wishing you Gut Shabbos Candle Lighting January 10 Tevet 13 NY Metro 4:26

Inspiring change. There are two approaches to inspire a person who feels they damaged their life because of past negative behavior.

One approach is from the outside in. Start by cleaning up the dirt. Focus on the negative past and the emerging pain will force a person to look for a new and better life. Although this approach may help it can cause a person to feel sad and demoralized.

Chabad philosophy is a positive approach. Focus primarily  on the core good within you. Celebrate your essence your soul which is pure and pristine as it is a part of the creator. By doing goodness and  kindness Torah study and performing Divine  Mitzvot you will automatically feel good about yourself. You will enjoy your accomplishments and happily want to continuously grow.

King David in Psalms 34 says: “Taste and see that the Lord is good”.  “Seek peace and pursue it”.  The transformations of conflict into peace and negatives into positives are of the greatest pleasures. Chabad Chassidus encourages us to “Think Good And It Will Be Good”.  Do not obsess with the negative.  Your positive light will automatically rid you of darkness.

You are a beloved treasure to our Father in Heaven. You are an unconditionally loved child of the creator so respect yourself. Carry yourself as befitting for a royal prince. You.

3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:

1) If a house is on fire with people inside, it is the obligation of every person to take action and save lives. Every day young people are burnt by the fire of assimilation and lack of education which causes them to loose their happiness self-esteem and direction in life. They are crying out for help. You have the power to save lives and help educate the young generation.

2) An astronaut suspended in outer space and facing earth is surrounded by darkness despite the sun rays passing right by. Because there are no particles in the air to serve as reflectors. When you do a Mitzvah the light of
G-d shining from above is reflected and absorbed in your physical action. The object and your body become a vessel for Divine light and energy. You unite as one with infinite holiness.

3) Our father Jacob lived his last and best seventeen years in abominable Egypt showing us that you can choose to live  happy years regardless of location. Rise above the limitations of "Egypt" and transform the darkness and challenges into a happy life of meaning accomplishments and blessings. Moshiach is on the way. You are empowered to tip the scale and bring peace to the entire world.
