Sukkos Peace & Enthusiasm
Optimism and confidence gives you motivation to continuously improve. Your motivation usually reflects your belief in your own potential for success.
In Chapter 37 of Tanya, the Alter Rebbe explains how everything which we will enjoy when Moshiach comes, depends on our work and actions during the time of exile. The more we maximize now our own potential, the more we will enjoy. Invest now!
Olive oil requires crushing the olive. The oil has the power to transform and to celebrate the victory of light over darkness. But you can’t light up an olive. You must first squeeze out the oil. When you know the potential of the olive and it’s hidden oil then you are motivated and happy to work on extracting the oil.
The holiday of Sukkot, is the key to happiness for the entire upcoming year. Sukkot has the potential to provide you with all the blessings. By rejoicing and celebrating in the Sukkah and especially with dancing, you are revealing the hidden oil of happiness which will illuminate your future.
May you be blessed to maximize your powerful Sukkah potential with joy and celebration! This will inspire you to continue to maximize all your opportunities of potential which our loving Father in Heaven gifts you and grants you in your life.
The combination of your efforts and your opportunities of potential, can change the world. A world of peace, healing and harmony, Moshiach , is in your reach.
Light up the world! The world is desperately wating to smile. You have the talent and you have the potential!
3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:
1) Your belief and trust in G-d enables you to be successful. The way you perceive yourself and your self-value will effect the outcome of your success. Nothing happens by chance. It’s all orchestrated by Divine Providence. G-d put you in this final generation of exile which will bring Moshiach because G-d knows that you have the power and talents to make it happen now!
2) Complimenting a child or an adult, reveals deeper talents and more intelligence hidden within each person. Your positive words of encouragement and your compliments regarding their intelligence, abilities and talents, touch the soul and increase the revelation of more talents and intelligence. Harsh and negative words can cause damage. Don’t be negative. Empower and uplift! Enjoy the miraculous blossoming which your positive words cause.
3) Peace is the greatest blessing. If you see a situation of friction, do everything it takes and make peace. The Sukkah is the “Canopy of Peace”. Just like a cup needs to be complete in order to hold water, so too do we need to live in peace in order to be a vessel for G-d’s blessings. Fragmentation, narcissism and selfishness are the cause of evil. Peace is the key for all blessings. Help others make peace and G-d will fill your life with blessings and happiness.
