Since I started succeeding, I started failing

In other words, everyone has a nature (we discuss this in Kabbalah Love in greater detail chapter 6) mine, apart from the good, is extreme laziness, but for whatever reason, as I came out of it and stated succeeding in different ventures, hence as I became full of my successes relative to the insuccesses of laziness prior, a very interesting thing which happens to many, happened

I believed I was king – now, when we believe we are the creator of success, our ego gets tied into our actions – instead of our actions being purely altruistic, they are tied into perpetuating the feeling of success (in fact, they say, this is why people get addicted to gambling, for it makes them feel successful)

Nothing could be more negative for the soul

For the truth is, everything from your success, to your failures, is predestined; you have no more control over your life, than say some ant walking on the sidewalk, every bmp in the road, whether we get stepped on etc. etc. is all predestined
