“It’s Hard, Life’s Hard”

We have often said and heard many others say “Life is hard.”

There are two kinds of hard.

One is that which comes our way not of our choosing. Those are the events sent for our growth. They may not be what we want, but they are what we need.

Then there is the hard that we choose. Without spending too much precious time on the why we choose the hard, let’s focus on how we can make better choices?

Before every decision, move, or action ask yourself if it will lead you towards your purpose or goal? If it will benefit and lift up another or others, you’re headed in the right direction. There are many signs on your road giving you directions. Pay attention.

“May you use all of your possibilities for the benefit of many.” – The Rebbe
