Ever feel like you're doing everything right, but still messing up? - Spirituality

Ever feel like you're doing everything right, but still messing up?

Listen to this articleReady

You’re not alone. 

Even Aharon in this weeks parshah felt this (my interpretation of talmud yerushalmi).

After offering sacrifices, he thought something like, “I messed up. The Creator’s mad at me.” 

He got so stuck in his head that nothing good could happen.

What happened next?

Moshe stepped in.  Moshe wasn’t angry at himself.  He prayed with Aharon, and suddenly The Creator showed up.

Why?

Because being mad at yourself blocks good things from coming your way.

Here’s the secret:

If you’re stuck feeling not good enough, find someone who’s kind to themselves.  Let them help you see you’re worthy too.

Compassion unlocks connection. Stop beating yourself up. 

Let kindness in.

The blog lists all the difference patterns to study, understanding patterns is how one can develop 'Daas' [felt knowing].
Update: As awe, trust, and love deepen, they can allow greater openness and intimacy with the Creator. That intimacy can include sadness when you notice how much more of His goodness can be revealed.
