Living with Hashem, explained.

Want a happy life? Read here!

• Hashem wants more than anything that we should feel His unlimited love for us in particular on an individual level (see Chovos Halevavos: Sha'ar haBechina and Sha'ar Ahavas Hashem), and to go around with menuchas hanefesh (calmness), simchas hachaim (happiness), and a healthy connection with Him, which is the point of all Torah and mitzvos (see Vilna Gaon on Mishlei 22:19).
• A smart person checks himself to see if the way he is doing Torah and mitzvos is actually making him a bigger, better, happier, healthier person with a healthier connection to Hashem. If not, you may be going down the wrong highway, and time to make a u-turn. Get yourself a rebbi (mentor) that understands you and knows how to bring out the best of you, and how turn you into a bigger, better, and happier person.
• Everything about Torah and mitzvos, the world, and life at large, is positive, positive, positive. If you are coming out of anything with a negative feeling, then obviously you are taking the wrong message.
• Human nature is to go after negativity (yeitzer leiv haadam ra miniurav), but we came to this world to go the opposite of our nature (see Vilna Gaon at the beginning of Ehven Sh'leima), and to go specifically after positivity and only positivity. And the more we focus on positive, like on our own personal good qualities, the more we will receive. Hashem likes happy campers.
• A person that lives with Hashem is not afraid of anything, and knows that no one could harm him even if he tried.
• A positive person is great, but a negative person that does a daily exercise in becoming positive is even better.
• All Hashem asks is that we do our daily exercise in strengthening our emunah and bitachon (i.e. just really believing in Hashem), like thanking Him in English for ten minutes a day, and that makes us automatically perfect and amazing.
