Fire Burning Fire - Daily Dose of Wisdom

By our nature, we are aflame. We burn with anxiety, the angst of survival in a hostile world.

To channel this fire, there is meditation and prayer. With these, we fan a fire of love for that which transcends this world. One fire swallows another and we are set free.

Liberated from fear, we face the world no longer as slaves, but as masters.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

A Soul Afire in a World Afire

I'm just one humble soul in this crazy world, and yes, I do feel "afire" with the anxiety and angst that comes along with the passion to not just survive in this uncertain world, but to find peace in prayer and "conversations with the Almighty". (I've never been good at meditation!)

But I also feel "afire" with passion to do something to leave a "positive mark" on this Earth. But I'm just one person. In the existential world, I am alone. But with G-d and love in my heart and mind, and the love of those who are "fellow travelers" in this life's adventure, I too, have the possibility to be free of fear, to face life's challenges with courage and fortitude!

today's thought

I found it very inspiring, and truthful. Whebn we are free of fear, we are also free to feel, think, act without the chains that anxiety posts on us. We are masters when we can control our thoughts without the outside world pressure and give love instead of tension, fear or prejudice.
I entered the web for the 1st time, and really loved it! Thanks a lot
