All the negative actions
and all the positive actions in the world are feathers on a cosmic scale. When
we're dealing with such a level of precise measure we can begin to understand
the impact we can have on the world. One positive action can tip the scales, as
can one negative one.
This is something we hear all the time and it's not easy to live because, hey,
we just don't see. If we did, then we would all live with consciousness and
human dignity.
Today, let this thought penetrate your mind: Each and every one of us can make a
huge difference. The more we're aware of this, the more we'll believe that the
consciousness of every word we say, and everything we do, can and does make a
difference in the world.
You see
that little indentation above your upper lip? Kabbalists explain that when we
are born there is an angel that taps us on our upper lip and causes us to forget
everything we signed on for. As I explained yesterday, we came here with a
mission greater than pleasure and survival.
The whole purpose of studying Kabbalah and growing spiritually is to remember
why you came to this physical world and to go ahead and do it.
Today, take a few moments to scan the Zohar or talk to God in whatever way you
know how. Ask to be led in the direction of fulfilling your mission here on
Earth. You'll know when you are headed in the right direction.
Before we came down to this
physical world, we each signed a contract in the endless committing to help a
certain number of people. However, most of us forgot our promise and we avoid
helping because it's uncomfortable. And yet, it's in those uncomfortable corners
of our lives where the most love and Light is brought out of hiding.
Shine today. Be there for someone (especially when it's challenging.)
In a
well-worn kabbalistic prayer it is written, 'the manifestation of every action
is already included in the inception of the first thought.'
Be conscious today. Inject awareness and sensitivity into everything you do.
This is the antidote to, "What was I thinking?!?"
How many
times do we say to ourselves, "Why did I do that?!"
The are many answers. For one, I think we give in too easily to our greatest
desire to receive, namely, I Want It Now!
Today, think before you act. Imagine how you will feel 5 minutes after your
action. Still want to do it?
Spirituality isn't what comes over us in moments of divine rapture. It's the
slow burn of daily practice, being kind to others when we are grumpy, constantly
looking for the lesson, thinking of what we can improve, and all those difficult
challenges we face every moment.
Today, keep taking baby steps towards becoming more tolerant, more
communicative, and more generous. Slow and steady wins the race.
Giving of
ourselves is how we connect to God. When we get past the what's-in-it-for-me
mindset, we invite clarity, peace, success and joy — and all the Creator's
attributes — to flood our being.
Today, share with no expectations.
