Self Fullfillment

Yes, my identity is part of G_d himself! I am beginning to get so much strength / valid self awareness when I remind myself that I am apart of G-d! My confusion is when my insecurities begin to question the powers of G-d and sadly I begin to confuse myself with His being real. Thank you for opening my eyes towards a powerful lesson that will add strength to my weakness. I realize my true happiness is to live though G-d now, for me to stop questioning the reality and stay safe!

Thanks re clip on self esteem

Like a crumpled car getting repaired, I think of an old amigo locally who must enjoy making smashed cars look brand new again.
You, Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, have done this for me this morning when I really needed it.
Had I found this clip age 12 in front of class before the R.I. master when he tried to destroy me !
Thank you.
