I had a thought that I wanted to share - I'm not sure if this would be of interest to anybody, but if can be inspirational to even 1 person then I think it's kdai for me to share. I just saw the מסילת ישרים in פרק ב write that if a person is not מתבונן about his actions and put together plans then he is like a blind person walking on the shore right next to the sea who's in a big סכנה that he's going to fall in. I found the mashal very interesting - if he would be able to open his eyes there would be no danger. It's his blindness which causes him to be in danger. So that means that not being מתבונן and not having a plan is one of the things that causes the danger of a נסיון, but contemplating my actions and planning for them takes a person out of danger to a certain level. And I think that's what GYE does for me. It makes me think about my actions, what leads to them - triggers, urges, etc., and how to respond. I'm now on hyper alert for anything that will cause me to go down the rabbit hole. My "eyes" are open for the first time in my life. I am now looking out for anything dangerous to me. I'm no longer walking around "blind". And I think this teaches me that I can never be complacent, because then I will no longer be able to "see", and it would be very likely for me to fall. So thank you GYE for giving me my eyes back.

Beautiful! You start living life instead of letting life live you.

Thank you for sharing Brother.
