Five on Life's Journey

Q: I feel that my life is running in many directions. I also feel that I am not maximizing my potential. What is my mission in this complex world?

 

A: 

1. Torah and Mitzvos are the basis of a Jew’s journey through life.

 

2. In life's journey, some aspects are pleasant, others less so. We believe however, that everything is orchestrated by Hashem.

 

3. All life's circumstances, the ups and the downs are all  part of Hashem’s plan, to steer one towards the fulfillment of one’s unique mission.

 

4. People were endowed with innate strengths and character traits, with which to fulfill their mission.

 

5. One of life's central purposes is to refine these character traits and use them optimally.
