The World Around Us Is Loaded with All Kinds of Negative Messages

When people are constantly focusing on the truths of their lives, a new world can open up for them. You need lots of Mussar, thanking again and again for what you do have, and to ignore what you don’t have. The Yetzer Hara is always on your case “proving” how you are zero, by constantly reminding you of your lack of ability, your Aveiros, and your failures. He is a great professional liar!

The only ones who notice such a successful person are others, so that the Yetzer Hara can promote their constant envy-problem. But the person himself can fail to enjoy and appreciate the gift and Zechus that Hashem has given him. The Yetzer Hara doesn’t want a person to have Simcha Shel Mitzva, since it gives him 1,000 times more Schar.
