Today we count nine days of the Omer “Gevura Shebe Gevura” (Discipline in Discipline). ” Who is mighty (gibur)? One who overcomes his natural inclinations.”(Pirket Avot 4:1). Make an extra effort not to give in to your desires. Be careful not to look at things which are forbidden to look at, or to say and listen to things which are forbidden to say or hear. Guard these areas of your life so you won’t become impressed or affected by them.
Accept that whatever happens to you is meant to be for you and that H”S knows what is best for you. He is a just G-d even if it is hard for us to understand. Remember that we never have the whole picture, there is as much that is revealed to us.
Try today to start something new, something that will help you live “a little higher”
