November 18, 2019 11:11 pm at 11:11 pm #1801956CG1994Participantlive in the present and appreciate what Hakadosh baruch hu gives you! Don’t live with regret from the past and don’t worry about the future!
November 19, 2019 5:58 am at 5:58 am #1801970Sam KleinParticipantLive a life of bitachon and emunah in Hashem (faith and trust) when a person’s entire life is around bitachon and emunah then you get to be the happiest person in the world cause nothing in the world can effect you. EVERYTHING in your life from your health to livlihood and family etc… Is ALL around Hashem the king of kings and ruler of the world. And not aroaround your job, Rebbe or doctor etc…. These are all middlemen and just agents of Hashem but ONLY HASHEM can help you with anything from health to livlihood to happiness etc….
Start to make a daily learning time of the Sefer Chovos Halevovos (Duties of the heart)
May Hashem help you with all your needs whenever you Call out directly to Hashem from your heart
November 19, 2019 9:26 am at 9:26 am #1801991motchah11ParticipantTwo things guarantee happiness: gratitude and ???. Be grateful to Hakodos Boruch Hu, and do ??? to other people. Both will fill you with happiness, I promise you.

November 19, 2019 9:34 am at 9:34 am #1802045Zoomer From the futureParticipantBut what if you are a yeshiva bachur how can you be happy without a wife.
November 19, 2019 11:39 am at 11:39 am #1802049reform rabbiParticipantDance daily and you will be happy every day. Don’t worry, when you dance you will see that you have reason to be happy. Whether you’re married or not.

A person chooses to be happy or not
“????????????? ?????????????? ??????? ???????????? ???'”
the choice to focus on the good or the badDecember 12, 2019 1:43 am at 1:43 am #1809955yuda the maccabiParticipantcontrary to common conception
being happy is a choice or bechirah
“????? ??? ???? ??? ??? ?? ?’ ???”
to choose to look at the good instead of the bad is to choose to be happyDecember 12, 2019 11:43 am at 11:43 am #1810263Reb EliezerParticipant?? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ????? ??? in order to appreciate and love the dqys, see the good in them.
December 23, 2019 12:48 pm at 12:48 pm #1813228knaidlachParticipantJoeshmo, if you are getting married in order to be happy, that means that you wanto be a ‘Taker’, taking from your spouse whatever you can to make you happy. this approach is not a healthy one for a happy marriage. To be a ‘Giver’, to give to your spouse constantly is the health approach for a happy marriage.
December 23, 2019 1:17 pm at 1:17 pm #1813236Reb EliezerParticipantThe Ben Ish Chai says, ????? stands for ?? ??? when someone says constantly, give me, is and will be bad.
December 23, 2019 2:43 pm at 2:43 pm #1813288Reb EliezerParticipantOn Purim we say ???? ??? ???? ????? on Chanukah there is argument between Beis Shamai and Beis Hilel how to light. Is the destructiion of our enemies or salvation of us greater? The gematria for Purim is the same, but ???? is greater than ??? indicating that he diminished, whereas ???? is less than ????? indicating he was elevated. The Beis Hilel emphasizes the elevation of the spirit whereas the Beis Shamai the dimishment of the phisical and material. The Maasei Hashem says on the Haggadah of Pesach on ????’? ?????? ???? and HKBH saves us from their hands, saving is greater than destruction. Saving proofs that Hashem loves us, but their destruction does not prove we are good only that they are bad.
