Anything you have a lust for, that's for you. If you have a lust for a certain type of Aveiros, it's a sign that you were born to overcome THAT. רָצָה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לְזַכּוֹת אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל He wants to make you great. He purposely made you with this lust and a certain weakness. It's a sign that this is what you were created for. Just try, that's good enough. And all those worriers, they were created to become Baalei Bitachon.

You have to understand, that just like the next world is full of Bitachon, עוֹלָמְךָ תִּרְאֶה בְּחַיֶיךָ a person who works on Bitachon, you can't manage in this world either, you have to get a Gan Eden right here.

When you work on Bitachon, it makes you higher than the whole world. You're bigger, you're better. All those Middos Ra'os disappear. And the more you learn it, the more it changes you completely.

TRUE STORY

Yesterday, I spoke to one of the most broken-hearted people you have ever met. He happens to be successful, but not internally. He has got a horrible, horrible life, I am aware of what he goes through. It's just unbelievable. It's such a Rachmanus. I said “Do you want me to change your life? I'll change it". Now, I don't like to bother people who have their own Derech. This person has his own Derech, so I left him alone, until recently. Now he told me that he abandoned that Derech. "If that's the case, come to me. I'll turn your life around".

I sat down and learned with him Shaar HaBitachon for an hour, and he told me that he never felt so good in his life. Just by exposing yourself. Part of Bitachon is appreciating yourself. I built him up; how good he is, how great he is, etc., all that stuff. It made him feel like a million dollars. Look what Bitachon can do to a person! How he
