If you are an upright person, then “G‑d will bless you in everything you do.”
Note, however, that it says you must do. We are meant to work through the processes of the material world.
Why? Because this is the means by which the world is enlightened: the spiritual must invest itself into the mundane.
And this can be achieved only by spiritual people working within the everyday world.
The upright are educated. They are educated in Torah. ATo receive blessings from God in all you do, only Torah learning will bring such fullness. Torah instructs how the material and spiritual worlds unite.
One will engage at a meaningful level and Shalom will be the blessing.

First, never lose hope. Every person is blessed with capabilities, even those who are blind, crippled, or have other conditions requiring attention. You have insight and capabilities that many others do NOT have. Do you know the name Alec Templeton? At age 5 he lost his sight. And what did his parents do? The engaged a wonderful music teacher for the child and Alec Templeton became a world famous concert pianist!
I know from my own experience how people with so-called disabiities can develop themselves. For 18 years I ran the biggest and best nursery school in Philadelphia. A child with DS who had been rejected elsewhere, joined our class, learned songs, sang at home, learned to speak, was toilet trained, and on and on. When she fell, which was often at the beginning of her two years with us, we had to help her up but soon she learned to do that and much else, along with the class or other s 21/2 - 4 year olds. She loved coming to "school" each day and stayed for two years.

work this daily dose was written just for me!!! fortunately, i attended a jewish day school for eight years; and - just as fortunately - public schools after that. truly believe G-d wanted me to have a 'foot in each world' -- we (jewish people) ARE supposed to be a 'light upon the world,' aren't we? not being a religious, or a scholar, decided long ago to simply do the best with what G-d gave me. so, as a mail clerk, furniture refinisher, driver for people, secretary, part time landscaper digging ditches, 'flea marketer' selling whatever i could find, etc etc, it provided me the gifts of opportunity and experience to work hard and at the same time, help people in mundane, simple - and sometimes not so simple ways - and even change quite a few negative pre-conceived opinions of jewish people along the way. this is just personal, and i'm so grateful just TO be able to work!!

Work How are you supposed to work in the everyday world as you say if you do not have the education and skills to do so. In the everyday world you need a secular education as well as a religious one if you are planning to engage on any meaningful level. Reply
being upright in a selfrightous world. After thanking G-d for restoring to us the gift of life every morn. And saying schema. It should be the resolve of every G-dly man and woman to lift up and encourage others.we may not always succeed
we can't let failure dictate our emotions or our relation snip to the created.we need to resolve daily to do that which is right remembering that we are set apart of G-d. Pay attention to the now, be aware of what is going on around you so you don't miss out on every opportunity to glorify and bless G-d.
