AMAZING STORY
A 20-year-old girl from Argentina was extremely depressed and angry and without hope since all her friends were married and she was going nowhere and from bad to worse. I told the parents to stop discussing Shiduchim with her, and instead of arguing and getting upset at each other, they should shower her with only love and warmth.
And they should also picture a beautiful big Chasuna. Right away, they got to work. They got a video camera, and they got ideas about a beautiful and big Chasuna. Both parents were heavily involved in their positive imaginations. The road wasn’t easy; indeed, there were plenty of “bumps” and disappointments. But they were: ַחיִלְצַי ןָשְׁקַﬠָה (the stubborn will be Matzliach) and continued with their imaginations.
After a full year the girl became a Kalla, and she had an unusually big Chasuna, just like the parents were always imagining. The girl is a new person!
The More You Laugh at Your Problem and Make a Joke Out of It, The Sooner Things Will Improve
Akiva had zero money for his son’s Bar Mitzva, and he called me crying that all his hard work on Bitachon wasn’t helping. I told him to say all day: “I don’t even care about the Matzav and about money”, etc. He did this for a week, and the money and credit cards started rolling in! I told him that the more he laughs at his problem and makes a joke out of it, the sooner things will improve.
