The Blessings of Goodness
"The following traits are found in the disciples of Avraham Avinu: they view other people in a positive light, they have humility, and they are friendly and considerate of others. The disciples of Avaham Avinu will enjoy this world, as well as inherit a share in the Eternal World to Come; as per the verse: 'I have great abundance to bequeath to those who love Me, and I shall fill their storehouses (Mishlei 8:20) .'"
Lesson: The attainment of personal excellence, good character traits, and sensitivity in interpersonal relationships is the ultimate goal that a human being can achieve in the eyes of HaShem.
Visualization: Envision that you are student of Avraham Avinu. Experience the warmth, joy, and humility of being in his presence. Be inspired to emulate his golden character. Fill your heart with a positive view of other people, humility, and friendliness. Receive HaShem's abundant blessings in this world, and a wondrous share in Gan Eden. (Based on the commentary of Rashi to Pirkei Avos 5:19)
