~ !
In previous episodes we have discussed various mistakes people
make revolving around the notion that medium is the cause of success, especially when trying to obtain their livelihoods. We've learnt that the correct approach is to focus one the one true source for everything, Hashem!
Now, we will learn the Faithful-filled Trusting Perspective on Dealing with Financial Difficulties. In other words, what is the correct attitude for one to adopt when he or she finds themselves without, or with an extremely limited livelihood.
Weaving Torah parable and paradigm, Rabbeinu Bachaya shows us how we can all develop effective Trust-based coping strategies when faced with Parnassa Challenges.
Recognizing everything is from Hashem is just the initial point of departure for success in the voyage of life when the waters get choppy. Here, we given tremendous insight and inspiration on how to navigate the strains and struggles of terrestrial existence.
As it turns out, we as a nation, have been practicing for this Marathon called Life since inception as a nation. Learning to Trust is amongst the earliest lessons we were taught in our infancy!
