Let Go



My burdens are lighter, because I hold no anger or grudges towards anyone. It's true, that when we forgive, we let go of our anger. Anger like hatred is too heavy a burden for me that I cannot accept it. Anger continues to fester inside of our minds and souls to the point it becomes a bad poison to our minds and souls. Get rid of it, fast! It's not worth it, be happy, light and free.

Forgiveness Helps the Forgiver 


Forgiveness often helps the forgiver as much, if not more, than the forgivee. You can't do much about what people have done to you, but you can do EVERYTHING about how you react to it.

Forgive and You’ll Be Forgiven 


I totally believe in forgiveness and I believe that if you forgive you will be forgiven. I have had a lot of bad things happen in my life and I forgive the people that did what they did to me-if you don’t you will live your life eaten up with hate and die a bitter and unhappy person.

Man has no claim upon God. Even Moses came before God only with an appeal for grace.

-Rabbi Yohanan, Deuteronomy Rabbah

 

 


 

While praying, listen to the words very carefully. When your heart is attentive, your entire being enters your prayer without your having to force it.

-Rebbe Nachman of Breslov

 

 


 

Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.

-Elie Wiesel

 

 


A human being must either climb up or climb down.

-Talmud: Erubin, 21a

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?

Speech

  “To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.”     John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent.  Life teaches many lessons.  Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied.  Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.    

The Price of Misjudgment

“If a man does not judge himself, all things judge him, and all things become messengers of God.” – Nachman of Bratslav ”If I do not accept responsibility for the evil I do, the very earth will rise up to judge and condemn me. The stars, the trees in the wind will provide sentence…”   -Julius Lester
