Time is very precious. It is interesting to see how many people don’t pay attention to that. People believe that they have an unlimited amount of time without caring about anything. But, we only have a certain amount that is allowed for us to do anything.

To the soldiers and their families, may G-d bless each and every one of you and protect you, wherever you are and at all times, in everything that you do. We thank you.

If you know what is important in life and you act on it, you will have a unique life of goodness and greatness. You’ll always succeed and you’ll always be proud of your actions. There’s nothing worse than unhappiness and knowing that you’ve done less that you can, or less than you should have. But, there’s nothing greater than being proud of your actions, and knowing how to set priorities and following through with it.

You may say, “Can I control my thoughts?” Absolutely, you can control them. You can direct them, and redirect them towards goodness. Once you do that, then you’ll change your destiny and everything around and about you.

Know that when these things happen, as it does in many people’s lives, you have in you unwavering faith and you can use it, awaken it.

Today was a regular day for me. I woke up and did the things I was supposed to do, and on my way to work I received a phone call. A friend of mine passed away. So, today is not a regular day any more...

Everything in this world affects everything else. Wherever you go, whatever you do, whether either by thoughts, speech, or action, you affect the world. Sometimes in a positive way, sometimes in a negative way. Words for instance, which may sound simple, innocuous, and often undefined, could mean something like a deadline. “Will you be finishing this on the deadline or before the deadline?”

There’s an interesting concept about peeling an orange… Some people peel the orange using their fingers. Others use a knife, and others use both.

I’ll tell you a short story about my own father. When I was younger my father was sitting across the table from me and watched me peel an orange. Once I had finished, although I thought I had done nothing wrong, I picked up all the peels and threw them in the garbage.

My father, in his wisdom, just watched me and didn’t say any words. Then, he came to me and said, “Peeling an orange is systematic. It has to be done in an organized fashion and this is how life is.”

Do you feel sometimes that there are two voices within you? One, a voice of reason, of goodness, of greatness, of productivity. The other one, a voice of opposition, something that pulls you down and requests of you things which are almost inhuman, or practically not good.

These two voices are real. Each human being has within themselves the opportunity to either do good, and be all that they are designed to be, or be less than good and do less than they are designed to be. It’s a spiritual battle that goes on within ourselves every day. It’s a struggle. What should we do, and how could we combat that?

First you have to attempt to avoid whatever is not good before even striving for perfection, in doing all that is good. Subdue the animal soul within you, that ego and process that says you can do anything that you want, irrespective of the consequences. The one that pulls you towards the negativity of your life.

I wanted to share with you a list of 10 conditions, aspirations, and phrases which you can use as an “Attitude List”. Things to make your attitude better.

Condition your mind at the beginning of each day so that you will be positive, and think everything that is done for you and with you, will be good.

Laugh when you become angry or irritated. Make it a habit.

Start each day by being grateful. The benefit of the adversity and the blessing that you get, everything is a blessing for you. Be grateful for that.
