Along Our Train Ride of Life - June 2024

Shalom Dear Readers:

 

I continue to search for positive thoughts to help us cope with life, especially at this time. When I read something useful, I highlight the tip that is a must for ME. If it helps you as well, then I will be happy. I actually save the tips that I collect and re-read them almost daily to remind me of what I need to do to try to keep my thoughts and actions positive. Here are some examples:

 

·       No matter how difficult life seems, find a light and be positive!

·       Rise up and do not lose your cool in the darkness.

·       Take the opportunity to be close to Hashem. Don’t sit in the dark.

·       Be a good person! Smile and strive to make every person you meet smile, too.

·       Be open to criticism and always try to improve yourself.

·       Know that the most excellent quality a person can have, is the ability to make another person happy.

·       Open your ears to the needs of others and open your eyes to their pain.

·       Try to smile as much as possible, even when it’s hard.

·       Pay attention to the people who fall in the corners of the room.

·       Appreciate the little things the world offers, especially nature and music.

·       Don’t let society dictate to you what makes you a good person.

·       Just try as hard as you can. If you fall, know that it’s the road to success.

·       Love yourself and the world.

·       When you radiate happiness, a circle of joy will slowly form that will create a better world.

·       As we bow our heads to the fallen, we should be proud of the heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the State. We should remember that they did not die in vain. We must be united, strong and RESILIENT, as they would want us to be in their spirit.

·       Prayers impact us, and hopefully will impact the world.

·       All acts of kindness, mitzvot or tefillot bring us close to Hashem and to one another.

·       “Kol Yisrael arevim zeh bazeh”. All of Israel is responsible for each other!

·       Practice gratitude for the things going well in our lives. Enjoy a hobby, exercise, or some simple relaxation techniques such as mindfulness and deep breathing.

 

Remember, you are not alone. We are in this together, and we will prevail, G. willing.

Until we meet again, G. willing, in July 2024.
