There are three things you need to know about people who get angry

"There are three things you need to know about people who get angry very easily," said Jordan Peterson:

1. "They have a good and kind heart. Beneath their fierce exterior, they are more compassionate and sensitive to emotions, which means they feel both the highs and lows intensely. This sensitivity can manifest itself as a high temper, but it is often rooted in their deep care for the world around them." Their anger is often a shield guarding a heart that feels too much.

2. They love wholeheartedly, and because of this, the ones they love often take it for granted, and so they are underappreciated and undervalued. This leads to feelings of frustration.

3. Once they get on your bad side, FORGET IT. They will ignore you with passion and negate your entire existence. They use their anger as a protective mechanism to guard their heart from further hurt. They create distance for self-preservation rather than spite.

What can we learn from this? Instead of dismissing someone's anger, try to understand the depth of feeling behind it. If you can relate to or know someone like this, show them consistent appreciation and respect – it could make all the difference. Remember:
The most passionate hearts are also the most vulnerable.

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...
