Episode notes
Patience Is The Growth Vessel
- Patience (Erech HaPayim) is the vessel that allows blessing and growth instead of destructive premature gains.
- Acting from anger contracts the vessel and expels the light, turning opportunities into crashes.
Obstacles Build The Vessel
- The process and obstacles are integral to achieving goals; rushing the process often destroys outcomes.
- Trusting that struggles happen 'for you' reframes obstacles as vessel-building rather than setbacks.
Pray For The Vessel, Not Just The Gift
- Pray for the vessel to handle abundance, not just for the blessing itself.
- Work on purity and capacity before seeking large gains to avoid cracking the vessel.
