Whoever has ego will never feel complete because he will always lack something.

Every person can attain whatever he seeks in this world. The problem is, when you receive what you want, you don't always feel fulfilled. And that's the point, to feel the fullness of life.

Today, check in with your fulfillment factor. How many things and interactions during your day bring you genuine satisfaction, and how many are just quick fixes.

Happiness is a scent you cannot spray on others without getting some on yourself.

What can you do to bring delight to another person today?

Make Yourself Happy‏

What do our hearts truly desire? It would be safe to say that the primary objective of our desire is uninterrupted happiness, although happiness may mean something different to each person.

What does happiness mean to you? What will make you happy today?

This is the week between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, a time when we want to look inside ourselves - and look to others - and ask the questions:

•What is it that I need to change?

•How can I change these things?

•Who are the people in my life that I’ve hurt?  

The month of Adar (Pisces), which begins today, is a very important one. The Kabbalists teach that as this months begins, the gates of joy and happiness are opened. There is a great opportunity to bring much joy into our lives this month. My father (The Rav's) teacher taught that, "Happiness is a supernal matter, a gift given to us if we earn it through our spiritual work and growth."

Happy New Month,

Michael

This time of year is often filled with much happiness, but also with stress. This article from TIME magazine gives us another reason to maintain our own happiness, and to surround ourselves with happy people. As it turns out, happiness is contagious:

"...What if not only behaviors but also moods and mental states work the same way?

One of the most important aspects of a spiritual life is the need to be happy at all times. This is one of the easiest lessons that there is, but still we find ways to make it complicated.

The kabbalists have taught that joy is one of the most important prerequisites for a connection to the Creator and His Light.
