A person can become earth like, stuck in one place, or a person can take nisyonos and elevate them self. When Ephron sold Avraham the Maarat Hamachpala, he could have inscribed himself forever as a Tzadik who gave him the land, but instead he gave into his baser instincts and sold it to Avraham for a lot of money. When we face a difficult nisayon we have to realize that we are being given an opportunity to lift ourselves up. That our actions will influence our future. We should always strive to be a giver, not a taker. from a Shiur on Naaleh: Parshat Chayei Sarah Teacher: Mrs. Shira Smiles
