Power of Positivity! - The Spring Hill Times

I was davaning Ma’ariv last night in Kol Shimshon and a Chassan came over to me and told me that when he was in Yeshiva he was struggling a lot because he heard a lot of negativity and it was turning him off. He was thinking of dropping out of Yeshiva. Then someone gave him the number to ‘A Life with Bitachon‘. He started hearing how Yiddishkeit is enjoyable. Yiddishkeit is fun, Yiddishkeit is good! He decided to continue in Yeshiva. He now follows my hotline daily. He knows every Yesod, every Kasha. He’s asking me contradictions here and there. He says it’s a wonder how everything just switched from Choshech to Ohr. He used to think that everything was negative, Choshech, Din, Gehenim. Now he sees it’s love, Bracha, Chessed V’rachamim!

Man Sees Hashem

Moshe* lost his vision, and found himself with extra time. He started to follow the hotline, and he said it was the first time that he ever really felt Hashem’s presence. Since becoming involved with Bitachon, he sees Hashem much more than he ever did when his eyes were functioning. Before, he saw the external things, all the distractions; he never saw Hashem. Now that he can’t see externals, he only sees Hashem, and his life is full of simcha! Read more: Bitachon #273

Positive Thinking

Yaakov Friedman tripped while he was walking and he got a bruise on his foot. He started thinking through all the related chassadim, that he Baruch Hashem had feet, Baruch Hashem his hands weren’t hurting, Baruch Hashem he didn’t hurt his face…. He realized that if you focus on all the chassadim in the story, it’s a million times more than what just happened – that he fell and hurt himself. He was just focusing on all the chassadim that he never thought about before and he just got overwhelmed from joy! Read more: Bitachon #275

I feel amazing!” Almost immediately, she got back on her feet, and she started feeling better! Read more: Bitachon #234

Chaim Schwartz,* a Bochur learning in yeshiva, had difficulty understanding his Rebbi’s Shiur. When anyone asked him how the Shiur was, he would say, “It was Gavaldig, it was amazing.
