There will always be challenges, and there is no guarantee of success, but if we are more connected to the source, it will be much easier.
The innermost point of the soul can not only help you cope with problems, it can also become a source for new strength. If we would stay in touch with that source, we would be less confused, just as water is clearer the closer it is to its source. Mort important than this peace is the ability to build yourself up on a calm foundation. The other forces of the soul will draw you away from the source at different times, but we shouldn't wait until we become confused and doubtful before we return to it.
from "Getting to Know your Soul" by Bilvavi Miskan Evneh. page 88
Real growth comes from connecting to Hashem, everyone in OA knows that real success comes from connecting to Hashem and admitting that we are powerless, and turning to Hashem for help.
