Positivity Commitment & Success
Heroes are admired and celebrated. In Jewish tradition the highest level of Divine service is when one gives their life for G-d. Mesiras Nefesh, Self Sacrifice. A Jewish Hero.
The Alter Rebbe in Lekutei Torah - Ha’azinu 74A- explains that the focus is primarily not about declarations for dying for Judaism, it is about living for Judaism! To totally put aside our own will, our self serving desires and totally submit and do the will of G-d.
Life is like a deep relationship. It’s not about dying for someone. It is about living selflessly for someone. It’s about sacrificing our own desires for the benefit of someone else. To be there for the other, unconditionally!
By putting our own agenda aside and recognizing that life is not about our selfish petty desires, we rise to a higher life and higher existence.
When we totally devote ourselves to the requests of our loving Father in Heaven, then paradoxically we rise and become conduits of His infinite abilities. We become “infinite”.
By totally submitting to the Infinite will of G-d, you free yourself from your own finite limits. Your abilities become a reflection of the infinite Creator. You become “infinitely capable”.
Enjoy the journey. You can choose to become infinitely empowered!
3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:
1) The 4th Chabad Rebbe, the Rebbe Maharash says: The world says that if you can not go “under” from the bottom, then go over the top. But He says “Lechatchiloh Ariber”. From the beginning go straight over the top! Always take the high road! With this attitude you will always succeed. You can always choose the road of success!
2) The human being can easily fall when he does not have a destination and a goal to focus on. Focus on a Torah based positive goal and you will be able to successfully arrive at your destination.
3) Life is a happy journey when we accomplish new things every day. Make a list of your talents and capabilities and G-d will bless you to enjoy the pleasure of success. You have the power to free yourself from an Exile mentality and live with a Moshiach - Freedom mentality. You will be happy and you will celebrate.
