Another day another way, fighting the Yetzer harah

Continuing with my blog, thinking I am talking to myself and hoping that someone will discover my thoughts, I want to express a day in a life of Bas Elokim. Perhaps you can relate.

Waking up every morning thinking I need to conquer another day is hard for me. Yes there are many things I am blessed with and thank hashem for all the good I have, but of course, there are many struggle I go through as well. I need to stay strong for my family, for my friends and for myself. When you you walk through a day you see many good things and many bad things. I try to shield myself form the bad and write it off to the Yetzer Harah at work. So many around me are sleeping and do not realize the Yetzer harah playing with our minds. Baruch hashem I am one step further and at least recognize this.

I myself fall to the struggles of the yetzer harah and get angry, upset, scared and insecure. So I ask YOU, the world of bloggers, do you struggle with the same?

Do you try to feel hashem in your daily life and feel disconnected?

Do you want to strive for more and fall on a daily basis?

Do we help the ones who fall around us or just ignore and get angry?

The world is closing in and many people are suffering now. Its NOT a coincidence, it's the last chance we can do Teshuva. We need to take a hold of our suffering, grab it, conquer it and throw it away.We need to take charge of our minds and bodies and not let the yetzer harah win!

Can we think of ways, small tiny steps, to improve and go forward? Let me give you a few ideas:

1. smile to the ones you love
2. an encouraging word to a person in need
3. give a dollar to a pushka  will give you a taste of tzedkah
4. hug and kiss your kids, it does miracles
5. thank hashem with a word a day, say "thank you!" thats it!

Trust me, its hard, even the smallest thing. I struggle everyday to do whats right. If I have YOU to encourage me and tell me what you do it will help us all and bring mashiach faster!
