23 teves chapter 12 part 5/5 oh, to be ALIVE. 😊life doesn’t happen TO me. It happens inside me.

What a chapter!!!! TYH! ❤️. The beinoni lives ALIVE in his home. The beinoni lives with the breath of hashem that is found between stimulus and response. The world doesn’t happen TO the beinoni. It happens for and with the beinoni. The beinoni MEDIATEs the space between impulse and response. Because I am NOT you- I can HOLD you. He doesn’t identify with his trigger. He feels it and sees it but he doesn’t become it And yes- part of being a beinoni Is that it’s HARD to be a beinoni But I don’t give up and put my hands up And say “I guess I’m a rasha” Just because it’s hard We keep fighting. Cuz we know this is our essential truth. The fact that it’s HARD is as DIVINE as the goal itself. U aren’t failing. You are engaging with you sacred divine mission. I never surrender my crown.
