Welcome to another daily chizuk (strengthening). This is Rabbi Eliezer Zeytouneh, here with a message for you. Rav Dessler writes a phenomenal thing. He quotes the Ibn Ezra, who writes: “Listen, every time you see something, it makes an imprint on your soul.” An imprint on my neshama (soul).
Then I started thinking: If that's the case, the imprint on my neshama has an effect on me—on my mood, on my feelings, on my thought process, on my philosophy. So I started saying, “You know what? Wait a second.” That means if somebody wants to be happy and to be happy all the time, all you have to do is make sure you look at happy things. But if I'm always listening to sad news and looking at sad things and things that are devastating and depressing, then of course it's going to affect me.
So the tip for today, Rabbi Eliezer Zeytouneh, is to always look for good news, for good tidings, for happy things. If I do that, every time I hear something good—a good piece of information, a nice one, a beautiful piece of Torah—it gets imprinted onto my soul, resonates in my mind, and starts showing on my face. That is how a person can be happy every day, Rabbi Eliezer Zeytouneh. Have a wonderful day.
