why's it so hard 2 love one another

my mini vacation kept me away from posting about a whole shitload of wonderful events over the last few days. i'm still exhausted and starstruck, loving life and appreciating where i am, who i am, and who surrounds me. after i catch up on some sleep, i'll fill u all in on the details, but for now, here's some Kabbalah tune-ups courtesy of Yehuda Berg. find some inspiration and spread some Love and Light.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12

Sometimes it seems that when you read a Kabbalah book, or listen to a lecture, the same things are repeated. On Pesach we talk about removing the ego, on Chanukah we talk about tapping into miracles, on Shabbat Pinchas we talk about healing. But something I realized is that it’s not the wisdom that stays the same, it’s us who stay the same. The ticket to the technology is change.

When we transform, we can hear the same exact thing we heard a month, a year, a decade ago but it will sound different, and resonate deeper. But when we get stuck in ruts, patterns, and complacency, our learning stays stuck as well. What is the difference between humans and animals? Animals do the same thing day after day after day. But we have a choice.

Today, break up & shake up your routines. If you always start the day with coffee, then start with tea. If you always take the same route to work, then take a different path. If you flop in front of the TV when you get home, then open a book, or better yet, go for a walk. Get in the habit of mixing it up and changing yourself. The wisdom will change accordingly.

Why is it so hard to say I love you? I don't mean to a lover, but to a friend, a teacher, a parent. Why are these four little letters so difficult to spit out of our mouths?

What a wonderful gift to give someone. Think about how good it feels when people say it to you. I love you. Sometimes when you have strife with family, or beef with a friend, saying I love you is all you need to do to take away the darkness that has settled in like a fog. We fight and argue and analyze when usually, I love you will do the trick.

Who do you love and cherish, yet are afraid tell how you feel? Take a risk today. Open your heart, open your mouth, and say it. Just say it. I LOVE YOU!

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10

People who help us along the way are channels for the Light. If we forget them, then we are cutting off our connection to the source of all that is good in our life. Even if it was 20 years ago, it's important to remember the people who saved our butts way back when.

Today, go back to a difficult time in your life. Who reached out to you when everyone else fled? Is that person still in your life? Do you still remember what they did for you? Appreciation. That's the key.
