Perfection exists in the future. That's what the Kabbalists tell us. One day, you, me and this crazy topsy-turvy world we live in will one day be united, peaceful, fulfilled, and totally blessed out.

And as time is an illusion, and the future is here now, we can hurry up and taste our perfection by meditating on it.

Today, spend a couple of quiet minutes envisioning the perfected version of yourself. Go all the way and imagine all the details. Don't hold back.

Rav Ashlag [founder of The Kabbalah Centre, 1922] is, there is no coercion in spirituality. If you are going to church or temple or tithing or volunteering because someone said "you should", then it’s not real.

In life, we are either of a consciousness of 'choice' or of 'force.' Meaning, our priorities, feelings and spiritual connections can be put upon us, or we can choose them. We didn’t come here to be religious, robotic, by the book. We came here to be co-creators of our destiny.

Yes, we need teachers, guides, and loved ones to help us remove our blindfolds, but the actual choice is up to us.

Today, choose your life.

It is written, you shall emerge with joy. Through joy you can emerge from all troubles.

- The Kotzker Rebbe

There’s a lot of turmoil out there. I know many students are worried about what’s going to be with the economy and the state of the world. I am not here to answer geopolitical questions but I can say that a connection to the Light has always been, and will always be, the solution to what ails us.

And at the end of the day, Light is love and joy. So connect today by being joyous, no matter how hard that may be.

When in doubt, at least put a fake smile (fmile) on your face. It’ll do wonders.

When we talk about manifesting, we often have something specific in mind. We want to manifest a new career, or an exciting relationship, or a bigger house, or improved health.

It's important to have goals - specific goals. But, paradoxically, we must also be open to what life brings us. A deeply spiritual person is open to everything and anything.

Therefore we must eliminate the narrow agendas of our everyday lives and let the Light move us in the direction we really need to go. That direction may not be exactly what we expect, but in the long run, it's certain to be indefinitely better.

Today, allow for any and all solutions to your needs - even solutions you could not have anticipated by yourself. It's a matter of realizing that you can't do everything on your own - and understanding that everything that comes into your life assists you in your spiritual growth, provided you see events as opportunities rather than obstacles.

Reviewing our good qualities and positive actions is a wonderful tonic for the soul.

Today, help your friends and fellow souls remember their good stuff. Talk about it. It feels good. The more you respect and honor yourself, the more you will sense the daily presence of God, the Light, Jesus, Vishnu, Mohammad, Buddha - or whatever higher power you identify with - in your daily life.

Want to feel really good today?

Tell someone you care about something you’ve always wanted to say, but didn’t know how. You know what I am talking about, something risky.

Push yourself over the emotional edge today. Don’t calculate the risk. Let go of your desired outcome and open your heart. That’s how you destroy the illusion separating you from God.

Mission central for the Kabbalah Centre is to end pain, suffering, and chaos in the world and in our own lives. But how many of us - as students of Kabbalah - realize on a daily basis that this is the point?

Today, as you go about your spiritual thoughts and actions, focus on this bigger picture. If we don't know why we busy ourselves with our spiritual work, we can never expect to see an end to chaos in our time.
