The Secret Ingredient of Success
At the end of his life, Moshe Rabenu appointed Yehoshuah bin Nun to be his successor. HaShem instructed Moshe Rabenu to encourage Yehoshuah by saying, "Be strong and courageous!" Those few words of encouragement instilled confidence in Yehoshuah's heart to succeed as the new leader of Klal Yisrael. In addition, it steeled him with the bravery to conquer the thirty-one idol-worshipping nations that were living in Canaan.
Lesson: Yehoshuah bin Nun, was Moshe's greatest disciple, a prophet, and a man of sterling character. Nevertheless, HaShem knew that every human being needs encouragement to succeed and flourish. App: Encouragement effectively empowers us to succeed. Encourage yourself and your friends to perform good deeds, attain pleasant character traits, and engage in Mussar study. A little encouragement is a strong catalyst that surely will bring much wisdom, joy, and fulfillment! (Based on the writings of the Saba Kadishah of Kelm)
