Amazingly well said. One of the most hard ideas is to now a days, put our ego down. Since most of us always feel like we have to be in control of things. we feel that we should always control our lifes and every single thing that happens to it. But the most relevant point is not to control our lives, but to do G-d's will.
Thank you for this great lesson. I appreciate everything Chabad has being doing!
