Daring to Think and to Act

„The good deed will bring forth its fruit; it will reveal into the light what is hidden in the depths of the soul.”From Shemonah Kevatzim III, 104

The path to happiness begins its journey with an idea. With something inner that wells up within us. The more illumined and precise we are, the more clearly and strongly its light will shine. But even when there are obstacles and hindrances, and even when we are in a less good and radiant period, the very new idea that wells up can bring a significant change to our whole life. A good thought is a door to new possibilities, even in hard times. And when it is accompanied by right action, it opens for us a chance for renewal and life. Dare to try, to break through, to build yourself up. Also, and especially, in hard times!
