Why do we sometimes make the same mistake over and over? Because even though we are aware of doing something wrong, a part of our subconscious hasn’t yet learned the lesson.

Instead of feeling stupid for making the same mistake, seek your emotional flaw which is causing the repetition. It’s possible if you are open and truthful with yourself, and finding it will bring improvement to your mind and soul.

Believe in yourself, especially when you make a mistake.

One who can give without remembering pleases the One. One who can receive without forgetting pleases the One. And one who can do both is one with the One.

You’re stopped at a red light. The car in front hasn’t moved for fifteen seconds after the light turns green. You blast your horn, and glare at the driver as you pass by. What if that person had suffered chest pain, and just needed some recovery time? If you found that out afterwards, how would you feel?

When you don’t act impulsively, and you don’t act before knowing all the facts, you show composure and patience. Except in critical situations, take time to pause before reacting. This brings out beauty in your soul, and in turn you are given a blessing: The pleasure and benefit of finding valuable extra time.

When we feel good our soul acts in a beneficial way. And when we feel bad, or are in a bad environment, our soul is affected detrimentally. Others have a strong influence on this. When we’re around positive and loving people, we share a beautiful energy. When we’re around people with negative energy, it’s like being around a pathogen.

Our optimal state is when we’re with our soulmate – our beshert (destiny), as I like to say. Couples who bring out the best in each other live a life filled with happiness and blessings. Their mutual respect and admiration also has a great impetus on their children. Their kids learn to treat others the way they want to be treated, and this delightful mindset will stay with them their entire lives.
