The more you focus on growth rather than perfection, the calmer and happier you become!

Are you carrying around feelings of disappointment and failure?

You may be replaying your mistakes
over and over again
in your mind.

You wonder:

Why did I fail?
Why am I struggling?
Why am I not where I hoped to be?

But Torah gives you a much more positive outlook.

HaShem loves you the same whether you fail or succeed.

Your failures do not define you.

Your effort, persistence and growth define you.

“Seven times
a righteous person falls
and rises again.”
(Mishlei 24:16)

Real growth in life
does not come
from never failing.

Real growth comes
from your efforts to raise yourself up.

Your struggles help you develop:

humility,
strength,
faith and
greater compassion for others.

Constant self-criticism weakens your spirit.

But when you believe HaShem is always with you
and cares about you,
you find strength and keep growing.

Every day gives you a new opportunity to begin again.

The more you focus on growth
rather than perfection,
the calmer and happier
your life becomes.

How do you feel about your relationship with HaShem, yourself and how life is going for you?

We would love to hear your thoughts.

Please share this with anyone
who might enjoy or benefit from it.
