Tanya with Rabbi Yosef

How to stop looking down and start looking up to others

When we are feeling spiritually numb. Our heart seams to be hard like stone. How do we break through and allow the light and warmth of our Neshoma to kindle us?

My prayers are continuously bombarded with distractions! How should this make me feel? How do I handle these distractions?

Is it OK for me to being such inappropriate thoughts pop into my head? Will I get past this? Why keep fighting? Am I achieving anything? Can this all be a source for Joy?

Is Jewish guilt holy? Can one really be happy bearing in mind their sins?
