What am I doing right?

5 Mulk 163 B.E. - Sunday, February 11, 2007

We ask question all the time:
How, who, what, when, where, and why.
Answers come in various form,
Though they are often not what we want.

Are the questions we ask God and ourselves
Meant to elicit the answers we want or the answers we need.

I find myself asking, “What am I doing wrong?”

Doesn’t this suggest that I expect to take an incorrect action?
On the other hand, if I rephrase the question
It becomes “What am I doing right?”
Now I’m preparing my eyes to see reality.
God put within me, within everyone, a spark of divine light.

Rephrasing a question refocuses either on the positive or the negative.
It lets us see both what needs fixing and what is well done.
God loves the individual and humanity,
Has a plan for each person and for civilization in general:
There is always something the individual is doing right.
