    Hi, I’m feeling insecure, and feel guilty about it because Hashem is in charge.

    I’m feeling insecure because I feel like by now I should be doing more, and be more accomplished.

    Thank you

    What do you think you should do with that feeling? Btw I’m not sure what emunah has to do with it. You feel bad that Hashem is doing everything and you aren’t living up to your obligations?

    You are insecure since the Rosh hashona and yom Kippur holidays.
    The aim of those holidays is to give you a feeling of insecurity
    In order to help your soul rise to a higher level.

    Baruch Hashem, all is good now. Sometimes rainy days can get to me.

    I felt insecure because I was comparing myself to peers who seem to have accomplished way more in their lives than I have at this point. At the same time, Hashem is in charge, and Hashem gave me a purpose. So, it’s okay if my path doesn’t look like everyone else’s.

    Emuna is the solution here. I have emuna. Hashem is in control, and instead of having the plan outlined by society as being, the way, we have Hashem’s Hashgacha Pratis.

    Anyway… thank you. 🙂

    make a daily learning seder of either reading the book of “the garden of emuna” or sefer chovos halevovos which is printed in english as “duties of the heart” to help a person change their view of the way the world is run & brings you to a life of happiness
