Life tests - being aware of them

August 21st, 2007          Email This Post        Print This Post

The Ramchal (a great Jewish scholar who authored many works, including ones on working on one’s character) says that during one’s entire life, one is tested constantly and continuously. (Nisyonos in hebrew)

When a person is  aware that one of the goals in life is to grow, they can become much more aware/sensitive/conscious of the ongoing tests - a choice to take the higher road or stick it out as is.  When you are aware that you are intent on growing, take the better, and always harder, path. You will soon see how often throughout the day this lesson is relevant, if you are sensitive to it.
