Resilience

A few months back I thought it would be a good idea to get an inspirational thought a day from the Rebbe - Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of blessed memory from www.chabad.org.  Here's what came today:

Success, in the higher scheme of things, is when a soul that has alienated herself returns.  It is the ultimate demonstration of her resilience and her depth: No matter how distant she may travel, in the end she can never tear herself away.

Now that made me smile!  No matter how alienated I feel at times, I, and all of us, have the ability to be united with our inner strength.  Leave it to the Rebbe to ground me.
