Agree.  This forum is not a learning seder.  It's for providing/receiving chizuk

Not true

We can debate on someone else’s thread what the forum is for, but it definitely is also for sharing what works, and saying that we “start having freedom when we take the first step” is not a fact of life at all for most people in many many situations.

Dave & Kugel, if your life experience is otherwise, I’m very happy for you...

We all have a mission to fulfill here on this world, and no two people were created the same. So let us never feel that we are just plain losers with nothing to accomplish. We might not be the greatest, but we are still needed, for our unique mission to be fulfilled.

"Who is wise? He who learns from every man" (Avos 4,1). There is something we can learn from every human being. It's just that from some people we learn what yes to do, and from others we learn what not. But we can learn something from everyone - if we only want to.

A man came to the Kedushas Tzion of Bovov, he had some serious struggles, and he told the rebbe that b"h lately he was doing a lot better. The rebbe asked him "And what will you do if you fall?" The person replied "Rebbe I told you I am doing fine". So the rebbe explained, "I understand you are doing fine now, but sometimes people with such struggles like you might fall c"v, and they might think they are failures and it’s all over. But the truth is, that as long as they are on the right path even if they fell into a ditch, they don’t have to stay there, they can climb out and continue on their way".

​Good and bad are not defined in-itself, rather they are relative to something else. So the next time we see ourselves having a 'bad' day, realize that it's the way we are viewing the situation rather than it being 'bad' in-itself.

If we look at ourselves at the end of the day to see how useful others were to us, then we are using others for ourselves. But if we look at ourselves at the end of the day to see how useful we were to others, then we are using ourselves for others.

We cannot go back and make a brand new start, but we can start from now and make a brand new end.

We may not be 'there' yet, but with every passing day we are making progress and getting closer than we were the day before. We are not looking for perfection, we are looking for progress.

By nature children are happy even without anything specific, because life itself is the best gift one can have. So you don't have to add anything in order to be happy, you've got to drop something, and then you will have real happiness in life.

I think he was referring to dropping the lust related behavior in order to achieve the happiness that is inherent and natural in the world
