Becoming Grateful
Here is a one-sentence formula for becoming a grateful person: Think, speak, and act like a grateful person does.
There is no mystery on how to become a person with the attribute of
gratitude. Think gratefully. Speak gratefully. And act gratefully. When
you consistently do these three things, you are consistently grateful.
And even before you are consistent with this pattern, every little bit
of thinking, speaking, and acting this way makes you more grateful than
if you wouldn't have thought, spoken, or acted this way.

It Takes Strength
Why don't people like to remain silent when others insult them?
Because they're afraid that others might think they're weak and unable
to answer back.
The truth is, it takes much greater strength to remain silent when someone insults you. Revenge, on the other hand, is a sign of weakness. A revenger lacks the necessary strength of character to forgive.

Your Real Pleasure Potential
In physical matters, a person's desires are always greater than the actual potential for pleasure.
But in spiritual matters, such as studying Torah and doing good deeds, a person's pleasure will be commensurate to his desire for those things. The greater you desire them, the more pleasure you will experience!
Your Experience are always your's
The essence of wisdom is to have a complete grasp of reality. A wise
person knows the probable consequences of a particular course of action.
Therefore, someone with experience in a particular is regarded as
"wise" because he has personal knowledge of which actions produce which
outcomes. Internalize the knowledge you have obtained from your
experience; this will earn you the title, "a wise person."
Next time you find yourself in a painful or uncomfortable situation, tell yourself, "With this experience I am gaining more wisdom." If your mind ever takes you back to past painful events, view them as your personal "University of Wisdom."

Life Challenges
Difficulties will occur in everyone's life. We are typically much
more aware of our own difficulties than those of others. This can easily
breed unwarranted envy. But knowing that everyone has challenges in
life can make your own easier to cope with.
Marriage is a constantly changing, fluid, evolving process. Each stage of marriage has its unique character-development opportunities. God will always set you up in situations that will challenge you and enable you to access hidden strengths that you may not realize you possess!
