Good morning 💗
What is the goal of life? What are we really here to accomplish? Life can be so very complex and confusing that it completely distracts us from our true purpose. You may think you are on track in life when in fact you have deviated totally from its main goal.
The truth is that bad things are the long-term result of when the Jewish people stopped trusting in Hashem, and decided to rely more on themselves than on Him. The Torah explicitly states this in several places, when talking about the reward for following God, and the opposite for turning our backs on Torah. It’s just that we expect God to act close to us at the same time that we live far away from Him.
“what if.” What if it doesn’t go as hoped…What if Hashem doesn’t come through for me…?”.
Whenever my young kids pose a "what if" scenario, I consistently respond “ with an If you could redo your entire life." I firmly believe that dwelling on "what if" creates an imaginary barrier that hinders progress. In the current situation, the key is to take action, get things done, and refrain from making excuses. Self-doubt can impede accomplishments and success, so it's crucial to push through and overcome it.
Avoid doubting yourself, and if things don't unfold as expected, view it as an opportunity to explore something new.
Understanding that success and failure are part of your journey.
In a challenging moment at Caffe Aronne, when faced with sudden loss of all employees midday due to antisemitism, my sister-in-law swiftly stepped in, without hesitation, and took charge behind the counter to keep the business open despite lacking experience. She felt an unwavering conviction that the caffe must remain open at all costs and trusted in Hashem’s help. Miraculously, the situation turned into a blessing, showcasing Hashem's presence. Amidst the initial questions of "Why me? Why now?"
Hashem knew what he was doing, so much Chessed came out of this turmoil, everyone need it a piece of the Caffe. The caffe was the place to be, to feel good. Witnessing numerous miracles.
Aaron made a striking appearance on Fox News, abruptly ceasing to respond to the host's questions. He placed a kippa on his head and passionately began reciting the prayer for the safety of our soldiers in Hebrew, leaving the host visibly surprised and unable to interrupt him. And was view by 1000’s of people. If that’s not Hashem’s hand then what is?
May we remove all the what if from our minds and just act on it and Hashem will follow as long as you trust in Hashem.
Wish you a wonderful day ❤️
