Welcome, dear friends, to our daily dose of Tanya wisdom.

In Chapter 11 of Tanya, the Alter Rebbe teaches a powerful lesson about the challenges of staying focused on our spiritual goals amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. He compares our minds to a candle flame, constantly flickering and easily swayed by the slightest breeze of distraction.

How often do we start our day with the best intentions, only to find ourselves pulled in a thousand different directions? The key, teaches the Alter Rebbe, is to strengthen our resolve, our inner “wick,” so to speak, to withstand the winds of temptation and remain steadfast in our commitment to god.
