A passive life is an anxious life.

A healthy life is a life that makes a difference, making an impact on all around, uplifting them and bringing in more light.

A passive life is always wanting to voice your opinion, it may be speaking up in class, at your job, or at a meeting. You really want to be heard and you feel deeply passionate inside about certain views, you’ve just been bottling up inside. However, being passive is not allowing your mind, heart and spirit to follow through with meaningful words that G d your creator will put onto your tongue. All you’ve got to do is open your mouth and allow G d to speak through your heart and the appropriate words will flow out of your mouth. Holding back and having fear in your heart that you’ll sound stupid, out of place or even anything but learned will only bring more anxiety into your life. The real you wants to escape from its imprisioned body releasing the true burning light that’s been igniting your spirit for such a very long time. Reply

Why "anxious? Wasted, maybe. Can you explain? Reply

Tzvi Freeman July 22, 2018

in response to Moshe:

Not just wasted. Anxious. A human being can never find peace as long as he has no impact on the world around him. Reply

Inspiring Others Everybody has a spark of G_d within them. To affect someone positively is to be able to awaken that spark in others so that the mission to pass the flame to everyone is accomplished. Reply

111. IMPACT This is absolutely true. It is succinct, and could not be more articulate.
Unfortunately for me today, the opposite is happening. I can not get on the software from work since it is down. I am not to blame, and yet the anxiety is a killer.

These words I see before me are almost forewarning, actually they are prophetic.

Knowing this, I am trying to keep calm, it is difficult for me though. Thank you. Reply

The Menorah " the Light" I have been studying the layout of the Tabernacle...inside the holy place. The Menorah represents the light in a dark place illuminates truth of Gods Word. The Light also shines on the provision of bread for the Israelites ( 12 tribes ) That God's Word is never stale but fresh everyday..and HIs word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our paths...Have a prosperous week!
