"Watch your thoughts; they become your words.
Watch your words; they become your actions.
Watch your actions; they become your habits.
Watch your habits; they become your character.
Watch your character--it becomes your destiny."
-Unknown
With the new year rapidly approaching, it is important to consider the above poem. What are your thoughts? Where have they lead? Is it your destiny? Is it where you know you should be, or is it where you have regrettedly ended up?
HaRav Kook writes in his "Orot Hatshuvah," that in order to do real tshuvah, a person must return to their roots in every possible sense. Physically, mentally, spiritually, and entirely. Trace your identity back to your actions. Trace those actions back to habits, those habits back to words, and those back to thoughts. You will find that if you admit to yourself that you are indeed in need of teshuvah- that mere thought has the ability to change your very destiny!
May each of one Hashem's children merit to a year of success in Torah, warmth from loved ones, and healthy spiritual and physical living!
With love,
Bracha
