LIFE LESSON 20

The word for life in hebrew is חיים which is made up of two words חי ,alive, and מי,who, teaching us an important lesson ...your life is too important to sail through it not striving to know who you truly are ,your true potential that G-D has endowed you with.If you are not feeling alive you are not living your life but letting your life live you
חיים ן is also plural teaching us that our life is not set in stone we live many lives by virtue of the changes we go through what we learn, who we become , how we grow etc but as long as we strive to know who we are and feel positively alive we will live lives as champions of our circumstances and not as casualties

LIFE LESSON 19

The word for beauty in hebrew is יופי and within this word we have the word פי ,my mouth.
A possible lesson from this connection could be that our true beauty is expressed in the way we speak and the way we choose to relate to others especially when it is difficult to do so

LIFE LESSON 18

The word in hebrew for to complain is להתלונן which has within it the root of the word ללון ,to sleep overnight, to lodge.
A possible lesson in the connection could be that when all one does is complain ,justified or not you are stuck,lodged where you are not moving forward.
When one is stuck eventually if one does not go forward one regresses.
However if any complaining is accompanied or replaced by positive ,effective actions and reactions then at most we are stuck ,we sleep overnight and then get moving forward with the beautiful gift of life that Hashem has given us

When you feel some emptiness in your life for whatever reason you have hit a wall which has left you in one place,which is full of a certain of feelings ,attitudes etc.When you stagnate ,without movement you eventually lose the warmth the passion and the cold grip of inaction takes hold.

What we need is to choose to realize what is and /or find something that is positively precious,dear to us, important to us and find a way to hold on to it, embrace it, care about it etc ..thereby rejuvenating ourselves ,getting warm again knocking down the walls and getting onwith a quality fulfilling satisfying life

LIFE LESSON 14

In Hebrew the word for being right is צודק whats interesting is that צודק has the same root as צדק justice.

A possible lesson being: its not about the ego based status of being right..that has its root in arrogance,pride,selfishness etc ..its about being Just ..taking more than oneself into consideration...considering the bigger picture,others involved ,a more encompassing perspective and the extended possible ramifications...
