This thing called life isn't so easy or simple.It is so ahrd getting thru al the curve balls with an attiude of smcha.Sometimes like today and recently it take sall of my energy to stay positive and keeping moving on.I will fight like crazy from reverting back and checking out of reality into the world of the internet just b/c life is a bit toigh every now and tahn.So what this too shall pass,it is all for the very best,it is hard and it hurts to go thru these tests  .I realize that I have done much in the way of creating many of these  tests .If this is what I need to get over to be clean and healthy so be it.with emunah anything is possible.I need to really dig down and open my eyes to see all that Hashem does is good.

You never cease to amaze us, gettinghelp.

I hope today's Chizuk e-mail (#500) was some help. Read it again and maybe even AGAIN. And listen to the two linked Shiurim...

B'H I have been quite busy these past few days.On one level I have not seen any material success from my hard work. Spiritually it has taken al of my koach not to act out from the shear frustration.I have begged and pleaded till tears were streaming down my face for help,and guess what,help came.Maybe it's not the immediate quick fix i was waiting for,bur help was sent.I am starting to really let go and let G-D.The pain and hurt are so tough to deal with but I will keep at it till I can have the emunah to see all the good in my life.All the tests  I am facing with make me a stronger and better me.that is what i am striving for

When we get up to Shamayim one day and we see "GettingHelp" sitting higher up than the big Rosh yeshivas - I won't be surprised. Olam Hafuch Ra'isi. It's those who struggle so intensely with such huge challenges that are the real GEDOLIM in our generation. They may be greater than the ones you see in the NEWS.

I am humbled!!! By really working hard on seeing the good and letting go and letting G-D I am seeing nissim!!!

In all of the osr here the #1 underlying theme in my humble opinion is desire.Just how badly do I desire a true healthy,honest life.Well I can tell you now that the desire to be the husband,father,son,friend,....person that Hashem created me to be os so strong I can taste it.It takes huge stregth and power all the power that Hshem has blessed me with to fight the pain and hurt and to really open not only my eyes but  my very essence to seeing all of G-D's goodness in my life.

Thanks for sharing Keep it up!

E.L.

well ,the way I see it everything has good in it.We just need to search harder than we might think we do,to find the good.So,B'H I need to start counting again from today.I guess Hashem just wants me to work harder and be more passionate about EVERYTHING!!!!!

Just finished the hand book,and now will being starting the basics with help from Hashem.

Harav Gettinghelp shlita. It's absolutely astounding to see how far you've come.

It's a tremendous lesson for everyone to learn from.

Hashem should give you continued Hatzlochoh always, and you should just keep growiing!

Let me know when you have 3 days again...

BTW. Which handbook did you finish? The GYE one or the attitude one?

Remember, reading them is only the first step. Implementing them is what really counts  :D

Keep up the good work!
