Earned Living
Discuss (6)All that can be cherished from this world,
All that makes life worth living,
Is that which is mined from its bowels through your own toil,
Fashioned from its clay by your own craft,
Fired in the kiln of your own heart.
That for which you bruised your hands and wearied your limbs,
For which you beat back the beast inside you,
For which you defied the entire world
The trophies that awaited you at the summit of your most grueling climb.
Oh, how precious, how resplendent a feast, how spectacular a monument,
The life forged with the tools of its own master!
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. To order Rabbi Freeman’s book, Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.

I went a Job interview today. I talked with them and knew that it was not for me.
After 2 year blank due to hospitalization, for 8months, I have been looking for a job.
Thank you, Rabbi Freeman. Now I know and take it to my heart what is "Earned Living". With each and every step I climb up this steep challenge, I am forging my life. The trophy is not a job. This each and every step, itself is worthy to be cherished.
Your teaching has made me inspired to act more responsibly about my life.
