Description

A person cannot expect to fix all our spiritual blemishes right away. Trying to hard can lead to a lower level. After failing, the natural reaction is to completely reject our original ideals. We must hold onto our original ideal and continue to light the flame of Torah. We can’t get bogged down with guilt and thoughts that we are doing everything incorrectly. If we messed up, we should not whimsically change our whole approach, rather, we should start a slow process of improvement.
