At the annual family Chanukah party, R’ Avromi* always felt out of place, that he was different from everyone else in his family, that he wasn’t included in things.
This year, with listening to A Life with Bitachon, R’ Avromi chose a new approach; he put his mind to the concept that emotions are from Hashem and that Hashem can give him a feeling of being included; he said positive lies: “I do feel part of things!” and lo and behold he actually felt at home at the party! He doesn’t think anything is different, only that he realizes now that emotions are from Hashem.
