Moshiach Now!
Moshiach → Everyone Contributes Towards the Beis Hamikdash
Just as in the desert, everyone – men, women and children – donated towards the building of the Mishkan (Tabernacle), so too everyone should contribute towards the building of the third Beis Hamikdash (Holy Temple) that will be built by Moshiach. This includes children, especially since nowadays we give children their own money and educate them to give from their own money to Tzedakah.
(See talk of the Lubavitcher Rebbe King Moshiach Shlita, Terumah 5752 (1992))
When the month of Adar comes in, we increase in joy!
Guidance → Be Rich
“...A Jew needs to try to be rich in an actual way in all matters, starting from spiritual wealth...to be rich in Torah and Mitzvos, and until also – physical wealth, so that he will be able to fulfill Torah and Mitzvos with restfulness of soul and restfulness of body...and will be able to do a lot of giving Tzedakah and fulfilling the Mitzvos with Hiddur (beautifully, scrupulously), and Hiddur beyond Hiddur etc., and in general – to utilize the wealth...to make from one’s personal home a Mishkan and Mikdash for G-d, including – also through giving to Tzedakah to build the literal synagogue and place of Torah study, a ‘miniature Mikdash’...to build the third Beis Hamikdash...that it will be built by Moshiach...every Jew should participate in this through one’s donations...

Insight → There is No Mazal for the Jewish People
The Gemara says that there is no Mazal for the Jewish People. Unlike the non-Jews, we do not need to worry about the constellations. Even in this world, where our souls live in bodies that are similar to non-Jewish bodies, we can change our Mazal for the good through prayer and merit. In the month of Adar, it says that a Jew’s Mazal is healthy and if a Jew has a court case with a non-Jew, he should make himself available in Adar. Even without any effort, a Jew’s Mazal is healthy in Adar, and even a non-Jew can sense this. Another way of reading “there is no Mazal for the Jewish People” is “nothingness is the Mazal of the Jewish People”. Nothingness – self-nullification towards G-d; the true will of every Jew is to fulfill G-d’s will – trickles down into the world where there are constellations, and makes a Jew’s Mazal healthy and strong even in this world and to the eyes of non-Jews.

Practical Judaism → Happy
In this happy month of Adar, we should all make ourselves and others happy, adding something new every day. First and foremost, we should add in Torah and Mitzvos, especially Tefillin, which make us happy. And we should also use physical things to make ourselves and our families happy, as the Shulchan Aruch says what makes people happy (meat and wine for men, clothes and jewelry for women, treats for kids). The father especially should do things to make the kids happy, which brings them extra happiness, because he sometimes speaks harshly to them to educate them, but in a way that it brings afterwards more fondness towards them.
