And Avraham died at a good old age, old and deeply satisfied...
How incredible - to part this world deeply satisfied with the life one has lived! That’s how Avraham Avinu left this world. What is Avraham Avinu’s secret?! What’s that secret that we all can learn from and be in love with our lives? The answer is, Avraham Avinu found his missions in life and lived each day fulfilling them. Find your missions in life - the things that you were uniquely created to do, fulfill those missions with passion, and be deeply satisfied with each day lived and then eventually, with your entire life.
*When Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, zt”l was asked in an interview, “What is true happiness?” He replied: “Knowing what I was created for and trying to fulfill it.”
