im feeling aimless and dejected
The ultimate killer. Did you see today's Chizuk e-mail "That Sinking Feeling"?
Dov, what do you do when you feel aimless and dejected? It's a recipe for disaster. So many people are posting lately about how these type of feelings lead them to fall...
In Breslav they talk a lot about Simcha. I notice that each Chassidus,
davka the things they stress there the most, is where the Chassidim seem to need the most work. (Do you notice a lot of Breslavers are depressed?) And you know why? Because the
very Nekudah that they are working on the most, is where the Satan puts all his Kochos!! And he is usually stronger than us - if we try and go it alone (without surrender to Hashem's help). And not too many people are ready to surrender to Hashem and say, "he's stronger than me, Hashem I really really NEED your help!!"
