Chapter 4. Faith in our divine service. Utilizing free choice. Praying for our hearts to not be distracted. Praying for our health so that we can continue to show up.

Chapter 4.

Chapter 4 - Dealing with enemies. Be kind. Take the hit. Take stock of your deeds. - When only you are affected. Mitzvos. - Intention. Commitment. Action. - You have agency. Choose to do it. - The external elements. - Don’t be lazy. - You’re already off to the side. - Toil. Reward.

Chapter 4 - Your intentions when you do a favor. Your reward. - Asking for a favor. Rely on HaShem. The person is the conduit. Higher or lower. - Thanking and blaming the land. - Thank HaShem for what you received. - Thank the person for their kindness and for being the conduit for HaShem. - Do not blame. Thank HaShem for withholding that which you were not ready to receive. - Try to do a favor for another. For someone deserving. Rely on HaShem. - Thank HaShem that you are the conduit. - If you cannot do the favor, be honest, don’t beat yourself up.

Chapter 4. - Eliyahu + Elisha. - ⁠The bizarre town. The clothing. The graves and the doors. The lack of women. - ⁠Finding joy in our current situation. - ⁠Family and friends. Be kind. Have good intentions. Teach them. - ⁠Shloma - asking for compassion to rule, receiving wealth and honor.

Chapter 4. - If you receive your livelihood in a way/ from a person that you’re not happy about. Your job should account for your talents and character. - ⁠If you live alone. You should comfort yourself. You’re not alone in your loneliness. Your soul feels lonely in your body too. Everyone experiences loneliness at some point. - ⁠Think about what you don’t have to consider because you have your time to yourself. - ⁠You have a special opportunity.

Chapter 4. You don’t know when or how your sustenance is coming. Bitter well. Sweet spring. What if you struggle financially? Faith. Acceptance. His precision.

Chapter 4. The quest for honor. The attachment of honor and wealth. Using our talents for our livelihood. Overworking in the attempt of money. Neglecting your service of Gd. Staying in gratitude. Your job. Your inheritance. It’s all Gd.

Chapter 4. The test of wealth. Like a king. Many mouths to feed. 3 mistakes many make. 1- how you make the money. 2- you think all the money you make is for you (it’s for you, others, guarding). 3- you don’t safeguard the money that isn’t meant for you.

Chapter 4. We desire more than we need. Most of us go after more than we need. You need to work for as much as you need, not more. If Gd wants you to have more, He’ll get it to you, without you working more. The result is peace of mind and tranquility of the soul. What’s coming for you is coming.

Chapter 4. What if you’re not successful? Perhaps you have sustenance. Perhaps your job is not aligned with you or with Gd. In health. Honor the world. Do things that should bring health. In both acknowledge and rely on Gd. We have no idea about how anything comes to be. And still work with nature.

Chapter 4. You are obligated to set yourself up for success - in health, shelter, mental health. And to stay conscious that it is all Gd. Plow your field. Some real life real time strengthening the faith muscle 😂. Thank Gd for your skills. Don’t obsess over your job / industry / business. You are a conduit. Humble yourself.

Chapter 4. What does faith look like in my human experience. All things putting yourself in danger.

Chapter 4. What does faith actually look like in different areas of my life. In body - foundational belief that all is precisely as it should be, setting yourself up for success - doing what you understand to be good for you, not neglecting.

Chapter 3. On intention at work and unbreakable faith. Summary + meditation on Chapter 3.
