Per yesterday, my efforts are vanity, and do not meaningfully contribute to a fulfilling life. Does that mean that my life is pointless and I am doomed to eternal frustration? No, no it doesn't.
What it means is that I have to put my hope in G-d and my efforts into knowing Him more. As I have begun to do that I have noticed here and there that some of the things that I had been striving for just kind of sorted themselves out. Not from my striving and scheming, and sometimes without any effort on my part at all. I don't expect my life to become easier proportional to how well I'm serving G-d, but I am certainly getting less stressed.
I am far far far from where I should be and want to be, but as with anything I have to start where I am. So I am going to add a point to my intentional 2016 goal of blogging every day. I am going to spend a couple minutes praying every day too.
This life is not only finite but short. We need to take advantage of what time we have and make the best of it. Serve G-d even if it is tough. It's not for long, and I hear the after party is to die for.
