SAN DIEGO — There was something about the boys in Thailand that capitavated the world. The young boys (sons, brothers, grandsons…) with their future at stake had the whole world holding their breath– would the dangerous journey be successful or not?
The world held hands.
I found myself checking and praying. I prayed to Hashem to keep the weather just perfect, and the operation run smoothly.
I started to think.
The Baal Shem Tov taught us that a soul could come into this world for 70 or 80 years just to do a favor for another.
The power of helping another human is immeasurable. Your friends may find themselves in an emotional cave and you have the power to help navigate a little light and hope through the murky waters. Spread a smile, call to see how they are doing, send an invite for a coffee. For who knows, that may be the reason that you were sent into this world. Your soul is awaiting for you to be that hero and help them emerge from that deep cave they find themselves in.
So where will you dive today?
