The Secret of Spiritual Success
Yaacov Avinu was separated from his holy parents for over twenty years. He found himself alone in a foreign land, surrounded by idol-worshippers, and constantly watching his back from the ploys of his unscrupulous father-in-law. Despite all of these challenges he grew stronger in spirituality, as he said, "I resided in Lavan's house, and still fulfilled all of the Mitzvos! I was not influenced by his evil deeds." What was the secret of his success? He faithfully followed the path of Torah! Lesson: "If you will walk in the path of the Torah" -- in every place and every situation -- "HaShem will give you the rain in its due season" and all the wonderful blessings of the Torah! Visualization: Envision yourself sticking fast to the Torah and its Mitzvos, whether you are with your friends or all alone. Reflect that the more you faithfully "walk in the ways of Torah." the more HaShem will bless you!
