SIMCHA {J O Y}

23 Adar 5770: Had I known then what I know now I'd have entitled my post Besimcha, Emunah, Bitul instead. Thanks to my learning partner Rebbe Nachum of Teverya I have begun a serious research into SIMCHA (J O Y) and how it brings us to Emunah (Faith) which brings us to Bitul (Letting Go, Letting Hashem). I welcome all who wish to help me with my research to send a private e-mail to 8simcha8@gmail.com THANK YOU HASHEM

After we discuss Simcha we shall continue step by step with our Emunah Diet

8 Steps STEP ONE through FOUR

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha

Tuesday, September 08 09: Today we begin the 8 steps to prepare ourselves for the new year 5770. Step ONE: Make a list of things you did great this past year and next to each item write: THANK YOU HASHEM. This way we begin with and end with Nekuda Tova. From this step forward we will focus on strengthening our Emunah, Bitachon and B'Simcha with FOCUS and a solid plan for the coming year.

Wednesday, September 09 09: Step TWO: Make a list of things that need improvement and next to eaqch item put a number 1-5 (1 means must be worked on asap). Then separate into 5 priority lists. (All the ones, two's etc,) Then take one from each list and create a monthly chart that you will work on these 5 items each month to improve for the coming year. This way you will accomplish more in the coming year.

Sunday, September 13 09: Step THREE: Write a list today for all things (that you can recall) you accomplished this past year and next to each accomplishment write THANK YOU HASHEM. Then write a list of things you would like to work on and improve in the coming year, and next to each item write PLEASE HELP ME HASHEM. This way we will start off the new year with gratitude and hope

Monday, September 14 09: Step FOUR: Write a list of missed accomplishments over the past few tears. Choose 3 out of the list and add them to the list of things you plan on accomplishing this coming year. You can only do this if you are practicing Nekuda Tova. For if you start looking at what you have not yet accomplished without NT it could harm your way of thinking. THANK YOU HASHEM

Today is a new choice

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Monday, August 10 09: Each day we renew our faith in Hashem, so don't worry about yesterday and don't project anything negative toward the future. Choose to see the good in you and renew your faith in Hashem TODAY with Joy! Hashem wants us to grow closer to him with complete faith, trust and joy! THANK YOU HASHEM

continued from yesterday.. Hashem created three situations where David before he became King David would see the value in all three creations. When he was running away from the pelishtim as they were looking to kill him, he began to act like a crazy person by writing slogans on walls all over town. The king told the soldiers to let him go as he is obviously a CRAZY person. Later on as he was running from the army that was chasing him he ran into a cave and Hashem sent a spider to spin a huge web at the entrance of the cave. When the army came looking they passed by the cave realizing that he can't possibly be in there... continued tomorrow
