Change Ourselves

“When we are blinded by anger and resentment, we have to come to the realization that the choice to look within yourself and realize that the only way we are going to change the situation is if we change ourselves. Only then will we see things in a different light and begin to make a real difference in our lives, relationships, and our circumstances.”

I have made this point on many occasions but like the Ramchal [whose yahrtzeit was yesterday - "yesod shebiyesod!"] says in the preface to his heilige Mesilas Yesharim, we must CONSTANTLY repeat well known ideas. People forget.

Every day when we make a cheshbon hanefesh [spiritual reckoning] the emphasis must be on how I can change MYSELF and not what my spouse/ parent/ child/ friend must do to change. I honestly believe that if this attitude would be adopted by the six billion temporary residents of our planet, most of our problems would be solved.

LOVE AND BLESSINGS!:)
