Many of us spend money to live lifestyles that are above our means because we feel a pressure to have the same possessions and lifestyle as the people that we see around us. Our Evil Inclination tells us that we should have the same nice things that our neighbors have… It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford those things right now, just charge it and deal with it later. Don’t give in to the ploys of this spiritual enemy.

It’s also important to realize that the friends and neighbors that we are trying to keep up with are also usually subsidizing their lifestyle with debt. This means that you are really only mimicking their irresponsible behavior.

You must know that G-d provides all of us with the financial resources that we need to fulfill our purposes in this world and to find happiness. If there is something that we can’t afford based on our current financial income, then it is not necessary for achieving true happiness and fulfilling our spiritual goals. When we get greedy we end up going into debt and increasing the stress in our lives.

There is an important spiritual law that teaches that, “Financial envy yields financial debt.” Remember, if you can’t afford something, it will never bring you happiness. Find comfort and peace knowing that G-d provides us with everything that we need to realize our purpose in this world in a happy and fulfilling way.

Kabbalah teaches that every soul comes down to this world to accomplish a specific mission. When that mission is accomplished, that soul can leave this world and move on to a better world. There are some very lofty souls who have accomplished most of their goals in a previous life but who need to return briefly to this world to complete one more tikun (soul correction). Some very special souls are able to accomplish their tikun without ever leaving the womb, some with only a single heart beat.

We cannot understand G‑d’s ways. But when we believe that everything He does is for a reason and that nothing is random, hopefully that will help the grieving process.

Clearly, we all want healthy children and easy pregnancies. But for whatever reason, certain souls do not need to be born into this world. As difficult as it is, many women can find comfort knowing that they were blessed with the opportunity to carry such a special soul while it completed it’s G-d given purpose.

Potential is a unique energy granted to each and every one of use by G-d himself, and it resides within each person’s unique soul. The key to unlocking the secrets of your own personal potential is to look within yourself and evaluate your strengths and review all of your past experiences and successes. By taking an honest look at your true strengths it becomes apparent that G-d gave you these specific gifts as tools to reach your fullest potential.

Now with this knowledge in hand, start to think about ways to utilize your potential in a way that has a positive impact on your life and the lives of those around you. Don’t wait for G-d to send you challenge in your life to force you to wake up and expose your potential. Step up and show the world what you can accomplish and the world will see has special you really are.

At the center of Kabbalistic thought is the principle belief that there is only one G-d and that nothing exists in this universe except for G-d. All other existence is simply an expression and revelation of certain characteristics of G-d’s oneness. That’s a pretty heavy concept to grasp. But that’s OK. As finite human beings with limited spiritual and intellectual powers, simply recognizing that there is a larger infinite power encompassing us is the first obstacle. Once we acknowledge and start to tap into this infinite energy, we begin to be able to harness this power to make enormous positive changes in our lives.

As students of Kabbalah, we are determined to enjoy the spiritual light that comes with recognizing the unity of our world. That all facets of our lives are interconnected. That each of us are interconnected. And that we can learn to channel the energy of the universe toward accomplishing the positive changes that we require in our lives. We are able to use the spiritual, emotional and mental tools of Kabbalah to create changes in our lives that enable us to live freer, happier and more meaningful lives… not just for ourselves, but for everyone around us as well.
