Good Morning Bitachon of the day ❤️
We have so much potential in our lives, but only by transforming the limitless possibilities into something real can we ever accomplish anything. Only by giving up the limitless can we attain something meaningful.
Potential is endless, multipotent, everything, and anything. It has no boundaries, no borders, and no limitations.
Something real and actual, on the other hand, is restricted, has borders, and is limited only to what it is.
At the beginning of life, you have infinite potential; you can become anything, learn anything, meet anyone, etc. Your whole life is ahead of you, but it is fully potential. This is not yet real; all that exists are the possibilities for what you can choose to become. It therefore does not yet have any lasting meaning.
Only the potential that we actualize becomes eternal.
How can you turn an actual potential into reality?
We all have aspirations and goals, dreams we want to pursue, and people we hope to encounter along the way. However, the true challenge lies in transforming these dreams and potential into tangible realities.
Three of my daughter's friends embarked on a gap year in Israel, and instead of simply enjoying the program, they utilized their time in Israel to make a meaningful impact. Amidst these challenging times, they decided to support the soldiers, both those on the front lines and the wounded. Collaborating with a food truck organization, they provided meals to soldiers at the front line three times a week and visited hospitals to support wounded soldiers and recently released hostages. Their efforts have raised over $100,000, facilitated the purchase of an engagement ring for a soldier to propose to his girlfriend, bought a car for a wounded soldier, and much more.
They collectively decided to undertake a meaningful and supportive initiative for our country, aiming to bring smiles to the faces of the wounded soldiers and the IDF soldiers who are protecting our nation. My daughter joined them on one occasion to visit the wounded soldiers and hostages, and she described the experience as incredibly meaningful. The soldiers were genuinely happy to have visitors and appreciated the opportunity to engage in conversation. My daughter expressed that she learned a great deal from them during their interactions.
When you have a will, there is a way! Life presents us with ample potential; it's up to us to transform it into reality. Each morning, we have the opportunity to set goals and turn our aspirations into tangible achievements. With determination and a commitment to making meaningful progress, Hashem will always be there to support us along the way.
May we turn our potential into reality, bringing pride and joy to Hashem. Amen 🙏
Wishing you a wonderful day ❤️
