Today we count the 32 day of the Omer with “Netzach Shebe Hod” (Endurance within Humility).
To be able to be masters of our passions, desires, character traits, personalities we need to use the sefira of Endurance and it must be used within the sefira of Humility.
Recognizing our not so good habits, like:anger, envy, jealousy,evil speech,negativity,fear,
laziness,etc…. is the first step to getting cured from these maladies, but for this we need first to be HUMBLE and get responsible for our own actions. Then we need ENDURANCE so we can train ourselves in changing these bad midots. Like when we want to get physically healthy we begin eating what is good for us and we begin exercising with discipline and having someone who will coach us and give us that push. The same way with our spiritual health, we need someone who can help us by guiding us, checking on us, inspiring us, teaching us, basically showing the way. But to be able to accomplish this the first thing is YOU, if you don’t want to change then nothing you do can do it for you. As the saying goes:”you can take the horse to the river to drink water, but if he doesn’t bend his head you won’t be able to drink it for him.”
