Power of Forgiveness: Overcoming Natural Instincts
Our Job Is to Focus
Sometimes a person wants something very badly and he tries every which way to get it, but nothing works out. But then afterward, he realizes there was something else he could have done that would have gotten it for him, but now it's too late. Sometimes a person needs money and a business opportunity presents itself, but he is too hesitant to enter it because of the risk involved. Afterward he sees that everybody who did get involved earned an enormous profit from it and all he can think about is, why didn't he enter? At those times, the person has an opportunity to practice his emunah, to believe that he has exactly what Hashem wants him to have. He didn't find out about that other hishtadlut because Hashem didn't want him to know about it. He didn't enter that business venture because Hashem made it appear very risky for him. Hashem knows how to give a person what he is meant to have in a simple way. He knows how to find us and give us the opportunities that we will want to take. By not regretting what could have been, we are showing our emunah in Him. Our job is to focus on doing Hashem's will, that is the greatest hishtadlut we can do and that opens up the Shamayim for beracha to come down.
Hashem could help us with all of our needs and He could do it in the simplest way possible.
