Looking Out For Number One

A frank and healthy approach to one of life's most perplexing problems: the ego. Most emotional problems are due to an inflexible ego. Chassidut suggests that we accept our own insignificance in a painless and healthy way: by making G-d number one

I like what you said: the opposite of faith is arrogance. i always thought it was fear so arrogance is something i can wrap my mind around and do something about . thank you so much for bringing light and hope Reply

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! Reply
