Growing Each Day (Excerpts)
Rabbi Abraham Twerski
For Israel is a young lad, therefore I love him (Hosea 11:1).
Historically, the Jewish nation is one of the oldest in existence. In terms of behavior and reactions, it is the youngest.
No nation has experienced the traumas that have repeatedly befallen the Jewish nation. Expelled from its homeland and subjected to inquisitions, pogroms, holocausts, and hostility everywhere, the Jewish nation reacts with the resilience of a child. Its bones bend rather than break. Injuries heal quickly, and while still smarting from its wounds, it rises and is back into action.
We individuals should learn from the nation to never grow old in this sense No one's life is free of distressful experiences and trauma. At any age, we can retain the vigor and resilience of youth and go on with the business of creativity and constructive living.

 Bring those who need a warm home to your table,
and your house becomes a lamp in the darkness.

People are not changed by arguments, nor by philosophy.

Introduce a new habit into your life,
and your entire perspective of the world changes.
First do, then learn about what you are already doing.

Teacher
A student begins as a sponge or as a funnel:
Either everything is absorbed, indiscriminately
--or everything passes in one ear and out the other.
The first job of a teacher, therefore, is to direct the student and tell him,
"Focus on this, this is important. Do not focus on this --this is only the background."

Meditation
This is what meditation is:
Once you have thoroughly learned a concept and organized the
ideas in your mind, you then try to visualize it.
Once you have visualization,
 you try to feel the essential life of the thing.
If your mind is completely focused,
 then the idea will move you until you are no
 longer the same self, and your day is no longer the same day.
Then it has become yours.
