The Secret of Transformation
"HaShem blessed Avraham with everything." The Sages reveal that HaShem blessed Avraham with mastery over the negative impulse. Not only did Avraham attain character perfection, even more, his very nature changed to a pure and elevated state. He made a great effort to internalize the core Torah values deep into his heart. As a result of his intensity to integrate the Torah into his subconscious, HaShem rewarded him with the blessing to transcend human nature.
Lesson: The secret of change lies in a person's passion. The more he passionately works on his self-improvement, the more HaShem will bless him with success.
App: Fire up your enthusiasm and devotion to rectify your nature, and receive HaShem's blessing to transform your nature to pure goodness.
