Be Something

The point is not to be a nothing.

G‑d created you to be a something.

But not a something because you are something.

A something because your purpose is everything.


—See Bachodesh Hashlishi 5729

Something and Purpose
Thank you this helps me so much in a time when I am having to reassure different people in my life that they do have a purpose and so are something and yet I have been wondering what am I as I did not realise my purpose in the move to a new life, home, city and business. Thank you Hashem, please give me your guidance.

To Be Something
Some times Hashem reveals to us where we come from, and what we are in essence, but He, blessed be He, keeps a silence as to what our purpose is. I guess that our purpose is to serve him by glorifying His Name. As a woman, men limit what we can do. Unless we are married to them, we are just a vehicle/instrument to be used. Very few men understand what a woman is worth according to G-d's commands. But like Leah, my prayer is that our Creator listen to my cry and give me His blessings. Because of Hashem's blessings I live, and exist. Baruch Hashem!!

To Be
To be doing something, and to feel complete, to be with G-d in one creation. To be creative with our Spirituality with one G-d.

Purpose
G-D gave everyone a purpose in life.All human beings are born with a certain skill which is appropriate for them.Trouble is,that the gift G-D gave people to function in this world becomes lost in the transition. Most people don't search for meaning in their lives anymore.They do what they have to do rather than doing what they were meant to do.This causes things to get quite "mixed up"which is evident in today's world.
