Today is the fast of the 17th of Tammuz
Why in Judaism do we have all these fasts, commemorations etc?
There are many reasons, national, individual , spiritual etc
One perspective is that what happens outside of us is a reflection of what is happening inside of us
Jerusalem represents all that surrounds our heart, the Temple Mount and the Holy of Holies the innermost part of our heart.
When everything is eventually pierced and breached, everything changes ,individually and nationally as it did for us as the heart is the seat of emotion and , emotion is motion.

When we allow destructive, negative influences to enter our hearts we can unfortunately find that happening in our lives around us.
When we pursue the heart when it has become to some extent dark it can tear us apart and kick us out of the park , in our case out of Israel.
May we all be blessed to work at filling our hearts with grateful light so we gain clarity on what is worth the fight , finding strength and might even on seemingly darkest of nights which leads to a warm beautiful morning that shines ever so bright.

If you are going through challenging times there may be many people who have best intentions and may even truly care.It is nice to have people who love you and care.
However understand that people project their fears,concerns,issues,worries on you and don't mean to freak you out
Stand strong and faith it until you make it

See The Diamond Not The Stone

A man held a huge diamond in his hand but all he saw was a stone.People were awed by the size of the diamond but all he saw was a stone.He threw the stone at a tree for fun, people gasped but all he saw was a stone.Years passed and people were bewildered but all he saw was a stone.Yet one day well into old age he suddenly saw a sparkle and eventually realized that he had always had a diamond and not a stone.The pain of years lost with something of such value in his presence unused ,neglected was almost unbearable

G-D has given us all such a diamond and that diamond is the divine you.If you only had an inkling of what your potential was ,how high you could climb ,what you could achieve in this world and the next,every moment would be precious to you ,you would feel the strength of your G-D given wings and soar even in darkness .As when you you see the diamond and not the stone even in darkest night it will sparkle from within and cast light on your own unique life changing path--Miracle Class Living
