L'chaim L'chaim

A humble person is very pleasant, And has a natural fear of the Omnipresent. Leadership can cause your ego to feel inflated, To prevent that, honor must be hated!

Bring sweetness to the way you talk, And humility in the way you walk. Don't give yourself glory with the king around, It is better to be told "come up" than "go down!"

Use your talents, while acknowledging their source, If the avos were humble, how lowly we are, of course. You won't be able to feel all high and mighty, When you realize all your skills are a gift from the Almighty!

No matter your abilities, you need to stay humble, Even the wisest among us still stumble. The higher the level a person may reach, The more they are required to teach!

Many of life's satisfactions, Can lead to endless distractions. The proper way to connect, Is to have time to really reflect.

Rebuke must be in the right time and place, Chasidus shouldn't lead to disgrace. At every turn, a chasid weighs what's right, And is willing to step away to avoid a fight.

Being a Chasid can lead you astray, Always question if you're going the right way. Gedalia didn't listen to the information provided, His downfall was because his chasidus was misguided.

A chasid prays for his generation, And years for divine revelation. No one should doubt their own unique ability, To step up and take responsibility!

Evil can't be ignored, Justice must be restored. There is nothing greater, Than someone who does chesed for the Creator!

A snake bit Rebbi Chanina, but he didn't feel it, If love is fierce, you can't conceal it. Dovid HaMelech's love for Hashem was so strong, His fingers played the harp, while his lips moved in song!

Giving praise for something you love feels nice, One way to show commitment is through sacrifice. Even the difficulties that can't be understood, Know that everything is ultimately for the good!

The Ramchal tells us how far our honor for Shabbos goes, Rav Anan wore black on Fridays to contrast with his Shabbos clothes. The wicked Achav merited to be king for so long, Because the Holy Torah, he refused to pass...

We should try to go above and beyond our minimum duty, & infuse the mitzvos with beauty! To show how far kavod goes, Eisav only served Yitzchak in royal clothes!

The Ramchal has many big ideas, Like how to be a Chasid in עֲשִׂיָה To daven with true devotion, Yirah has to develop first in the emotions!

In the same way we judge others, we will be judged, So don't hate or hold a grudge. Give tzadaka and freely lend, It is with chesed that the Torah begins and ends!
