Attitude of Gratitude

By GYE Corp.
The root of our disease is self-centeredness. This leads to feelings of entitlement; "I need" and "I deserve". It also leads to resentment when we don't get what we want, and then bitterness, pain and disconnect from G-d. To start recovering, we need to begin changing ou...

Fear Takes the Place of Serving Hashem

By GYE Corp.

By GYE Corp.
R' Duvid Chaim, First, thank you. Second, thank you. And of course, third... and onwards. And as you said, the program is not about lust. As a byproduct of getting rid of resentments and fears, lust disappears. I am certainly not cured, but I can sense that the promises o...
