Bo - Creation of Self

[barbara1]

Sometimes people get "stuck" with their anger and critical thinking towards other people.  "If he doesn't think like me or do what I want, then he's wrong!"   We can use this lesson in renewing ourselves to break out of this mindset and behavior, and to strive to acquire new attributes.   If we "grab the moment" to give the other person the benefit of the doubt; or if we "seize the opportunity" to accept people as they are and to stop trying to change them, then Hashem will be a partner in this tikun too!  How exciting and inspiring!

I really appreciated the idea of laziness expanding the phsycial dimension and lessening the ability to live in the spiritual realm.  And to give that idea a practical of implementing it - I was inspired by the "wake like a lion".  And knowing human (aka my own) limitations, I also liked that Mrs. Smiles said do it at least once a month.  This Rosh Chodesh I will make a very serious effort to try to renew myself and to wake like a lion. 

Thank you so much!
