Every Situation In Life Is An Opportunity To Grow

Every Situation in Life Is an Opportunity to Grow

RSRH Zatzal explains the Passuk in Koheles:

קהלתְּ חְְּּהשוֹמ רְּ מִּ צ וָׂהְּ ל ֹּאְּ י דַ עְּ דָׂ בָׂ רְּ רָׂ עְְּּ
One who is involved in a Mitzva will not have any suffering, to mean: “a person who views his whole life as a “Mitzva” i.e., doing his duty to Hashem, nothing is bad.” “From the greatest “trouble”, he extracts the duty which it entails, and fulfilling the duty, carrying out the task which misfortune brings, makes him happy.” וָׂאֹּ כַלְּ מִּ כֹּ לְְּּתולדותְּ כזְּ לג He enjoys every experience in life, like Yaakov Avinu who said: י שְּלִּ יְּכֹּ לְְּּוישלחְּלגְּיא I have EVERYTHING. He has everything, because he wants nothing more than what he has. All he wants is “to DO”; not “to HAVE”.

RSRH explains that the word: חמְַּשְָּׂ (joy) means: חמְַּצְָּׂ (growth), and these Tzadikim are here in this world to just Shteig. Yaakov was super happy and satisfied, despite all his hardships.
