Just what we need at this juncture in our lives; what say Roma! Are you ready to give up something BIG, in order to be all you can be?
If you've been a student of Kabbalah for a while, you're probably already aware how much better our lives can be when we use the tools and apply the wisdom. And even if you're only getting these Tune-Ups, hopefully you're a little bit happier and inspired when you read them.
But the kabbalists teach that the purpose of life and the key to our fulfillment isn't to just become a better person. It's to become a changed person! To transform. In fact, the sages say the person we are meant to become will be unrecognizable to the person we are today.
We all have one big thing! One major source of negativity, a limitation that has been so attached to us for so long it feels nearly impossible to give up. Whether it is pain, emptiness, addiction, guilt, fear, anger; there's a specific weapon of mass destruction the Opponent has for each of us, to paralyze us from becoming all we can be.
Most of the time, when it comes to this negativity we're so afraid of failing that we don' even commit to a real fight. We half-commit. We sort of try. We work a little bit more than we did yesterday.
Complete change is when we give up even our most ingrained negativity, and the commitment to that fight is the path to freedom and fulfillment.
As long as we believe something about our nature is impossible to change, we'l never be able to change it. We can do anything, but we have to believe we can and we have to be willing to put in the work.
It' almost like we're lived our lives as Clark Kent and we have to become Superman. We all have secret powers and hidden greatness inside.
In order to become the person we're meant to be, we need to give something up. Something big. It's different for each of us, but chances are as you're reading this you probably have some idea of what it is.
Sure, when we are a little bit better, life gets a little bit better. So why settle? Make the leap from a little better to a lot better.
Kabbalah is not self-help. It's about becoming limitless.
When we commit and do the work "the really hard work" there are no limitations, only Light.
All the best,
Yehuda

72 Name of the Week
Resh Tzadik Mem
FREEDOM
I clearly see my limitations and how they have held me back from true joy and fulfillment.
As I focus on the Light of the Creator, the transformative energy of the Divine ashes over me and I feel free.
No more complaining or frustration.
I will not get caught up in the material world. I will connect to the spiritual realm, freeing myself from the trappings of ego.
