The power of purpose
By zevi770 · August 6, 2012
Purpose is at the heart of happiness!
The Rebbe teaches that if we want tranquility we need positive activity!
Now these two things would seemingly go against each other!
In the west, we think of tranquility as sitting and sipping a pina-colada on a beach in Cancun.
As the Rabbi of a resort town where many active people would sit on beaches, I can tell you that after about a week or so, the men would actually be itching to get back to their daily grind in the office.
How come?
The answer is, as the Rebbe teaches us, that man is essentially a spiritual being!
Sure our bodies have no need for meaningful activities.
But we are scarcely the 20 gallons of water and 6 us dollars worth of minerals that make up our bodies!
We are the living part of God that animates it, and God has a mission to make this world a brighter place!!!
