Rebbetzin Heller on Spiritual Strength




















From a Shiur by Rebbetzin Heller
http://www.naaleh.com/viewclass/2345/single/

Nobody gets to where they are without struggle, we give birth to ourselves again and again every day. Our challenges and our choices determine who we are and what we become. We are meant to allow the Godly soul to win the over the animal soul.

When you daven and your mind wanders, that is an example of your animal soul conquering your neshomah. A good way of understanding  the spiritual soul versus the animal soul, is to think to yourself that if this was your last day and your are going to be judged for everything you do and say, what would you do.
We live our lives in self created prisons, Hashem can do whatever he wants.

Our choices count.
