Personality Typing: Beyond the Surface

Personality typing can be exciting - much like visiting a fortune teller... until they tell you a future you don't want to hear.

Let me give you insight into my mind. When a new study emerges, a revolutionary method, or a great discovery, I find it fascinating - (as you may know, I'm an information junkie). However, my first instinct is to verify if it aligns with what the Torah says, because that is, and will always be the only truth. As the Midrash teaches H'shem opened the Torah (the blueprint of the world represented by the Vav in H'shems name) and created the world and MAN, so if you want to understand how it works, go to the source.
It has never changed and never will.

When you get evaluated, diagnosed, or "discovered," you begin to believe what they tell you.
That you are bound by your personality, horoscope, even mazal.


I'm sorry, but that's NONSENSE. When Am Yisroel received the Torah they were now able to change their Mazal through their actions. Your personality has all the seven sefirot within it dominated by the three and you each individually have one dominating above them all.
Your Hebrew given name also holds your personality within it. Each letter has a negative and positive character that you can harness.
You see it all depends on you and the choices you make.

If you don't believe in yourself, rest assured that I do, and so does H'shem. 

If you have a dream or want to accomplish something, it means someone has planted within you the ability to achieve your dream -
IF AND ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND STRIVE FOR IT.

There is no ego in believing you can be the best at what you strive to achieve.
Be humble in your achievements but use the gifts H'shem has given you to serve Him with pride.

I have seen tremendous success when someone is ready to harness their ability to achieve their dreams. 


Rav Dessler:
 Three basic forces exist in man... Each one is different in its origin and character 
Chessed, Fear of GD (Gevurah), and Truth (Tiferet) Generally a person's character is based mainly on one of the three dominant forces we discussed above... His first act should be to discover and recognize his dominating quality   He should then try to develop and perfect it and remain true to it to the best of his ability.  But he should not be satisfied with this There are other qualities hidden within him and to reach his full potential he must try to develop these too  (Strive for Truth Lech Lecha)

The Hidden Reason You're Not Feeling Love (It's Not What You Think)

  Love is not about asking someone to do something difficult or inconvenient for you, and them doing it despite saying no. Love is not about receiving gifts, being taken places, or getting things because someone loves you. The Torah tells us to love H'shem with all our hearts and soul. I chose to be a life strategist rather than a licensed therapist, even though I have a certification in CBT, I received my license as an addiction counselor and was in a Master's program. Until the Torah gives me a degree, I prefer to be a strategist and use the Torah as my knowledge and frame of reference. How can the Torah tell us to love? Without delving into all the Shailos and Teshuvos , let's look at what love is on a basic "human" level. Love is wanting the one you love to succeed, accomplish their goals, and be happy. It's doing whatever you can to facilitate, encourage, and help them. Love is NOT about what others can do for you. If you have difficulty "feeli...

Tefilot Kavanot and Segulot for Lag Bomer

Lag Ba'omer Segulos by Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi: 1. Tehillim 67 (7 times) - It's a psalm of Hod and gratitude 2. It's a day of joy and happiness (always falls out on the same day as Purim)- you cannot be sad today! 4. Ask for children "who will be exactly like Rabbi Shimon" 5. Ask for a home. 6. Chida: Light 17 candles (gematria tov/good) - from Lag Ba'omer to Shavuous there are 17 days and we ask Hashem for good days, days during which we earn receiving the Torah." 7. Rabbi Yehonasan Eybeschutz : Lag Ba'omer is when you should repent from the biggest transgression of your life, and Rabbi Shimon will intercede on your behalf in heaven. From Rav Schwartz:: There is a minhag on this day to light bonfires. We don’t just light small fires like for Shabbos and Yom Tov. We light big fires – bonfires, which are called lehavah. This shows us that we need to have a big “fire”, a lehavah, in our hearts for Hashem. If a person has this inner fire, he is connect...

Compilation of Chanukah Segulot, Kavanot, understanding and practices right here

  The Complete Guide to the Segulot of Chanukah Chanukah isn't just about commemorating a miracle from the past—it's a spiritually charged time when the gates of heaven swing wide open, and we have access to supernatural yeshuot and brachot. Here's everything you need to know about the segulot of Chanukah. The Mystical Numerology of Chanukah Yerushalayim and the Lights The navi says: "והיה בעת ההוא אחפש את ירושלים בנרות" - "V'haya ba'et hahi achapesh et Yerushalayim b'nerot" (At that time I will search Yerushalayim with candles). What's the connection? Yerushalayim is mentioned in Tanach 656 times. Nerot in gematria equals 656. And "achapesh" doesn't mean "search"—Hakadosh Baruch Hu says He will bring Yerushalayim to chofesh (freedom). These Chanukah lights will illuminate the geulah for us, the freedom from galut. The 36 Angels We light 36 candles total during Chanukah. There's an astonishing hint in Yes...
