Come Out, Come Out
By: Yehuda Berg
Sunday, September 7
One of the biggest risks we can take is to feel. According to Rav Ashlag, the nature of human is to run away from pain. There's no free will and no exceptions to that rule.
Why do we check out emotionally, or avoid going out on dates, or making new friends? We can't stand the pain! A guarded heart affects everything we do, every relationship we have, and ultimately our connection to God.
Today, unchain your heart. Take a chance on love, or making a new friend, or revealing your true feelings. Let people see what's beneath your hood. There's something so liberating about exposing yourself. That sounds wrong, but you know what I mean.
