Practicing the art of waiting requires an attitude of surrender, trust and spiritual maturity, rather than reacting out of ego. With practice, you can learn to navigate challenges with more patience, wisdom and faith in the perfection of the universe. This week the universe pushes us to keep the big picture in mind and even if you can't see the divine plan unfolding, it is working for your highest good. Be patient, as justice and balance will be served in the right time.

This week we are focusing on the ways that major life events, such as illness, addiction, and financial crises, can be an instrumental part of a spiritual journey. Facing these storms with radical acceptance is the first step in learning to shift from panic to trust in the divine process, no matter how big or small the storm. Join us in a discussion about the transformative potential of adversity and the importance of resilience in both daily and major life upsets as well as how to support others when they face their own storms.

According to Kabbalah, while our gifts and our growth opportunities are predetermined, we can access better destinies through free will. This week we have the ability to tap into parallel destinies to shift to a more fulfilling life, as long as we're willing to embrace honesty, humility, and trust in the divine plan for us. Although certain challenges may part of our soul's journey, when we seek short-term solutions and temporary relief, we push away those greater potentials for joy, fulfillment and living in purpose.

We all feel, at times, that life is an uphill battle, and this week invites us to explore the context struggle in our everyday challenges. Discover how Kabbalistic teachings define true victory, and how the language we use can affect our everyday victories. We'll examine the idea of inner battles and their impact on daily life, practical techniques for maintaining a positive mindset, and the role of Tikkun in overcoming obstacles. Even more importantly, this week's wisdom helps us better understand why challenges exist and how to view them as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles.

Life can seem, at times, a challenge. However, what keeps us on the journey? Yes, life has its ups and downs, but it can also yield great rewards. As many people who have achieved fame or fortune can attest, those things did not bring them the happiness that they had hoped. When we realize, cliche as it is, that the journey IS the destination, or that the obstacle IS the way, we discover that our greatest source of fulfillment has been all around us all the time.
