2023/07/13

When you think of competition, how do you react? What feelings and thoughts does it conjure up?For many the word evokes feelings of failure, losing, or even humiliation. A competitive nature may not tolerate that another person won, leaving them bitter, angry and resentful.

Do you feel alive, truly alive? Is your life filled with enthusiasm, energy, passion and excitement?

What power and potency do our words carry? Words are everywhere. Books, media, video, marketing, talk radio -- the list goes on. Words inundating us from every direction.

How to Become a Giver in a World of Takers

Meaningful Life Skills with Rabbi Simon Jacobson ·

2023/06/01

Are you a giver or a taker? The fact is that we live in a world that teaches us how to take, with the justification and argument that life is fundamentally selfish; survival of the fittest is the driving ethos and if you don’t take care of yourself no one else will take care of you. Is that accurate? Is that a healthy attitude? On a short term basis, it may seem that being a taker will benefit you, even if doesn’t help others. But what about the bigger, long-term picture?

Meaningful Life Skills with Rabbi Simon Jacobson ·

2023/05/24

Are women inferior to men? Were they created as an afterthought, a secondary human being, designed to live in the shadow of men? The common perception is that in earlier history, in primitive times, that was indeed the attitude – that men were the center of the universe and women were simply their accessories. Hence, totally inferior. And even more specifically, if you ask anyone about the biblical and religious views of male vs. female, the response is that male hierarchy controlled the world and

Meaningful Life Skills with Rabbi Simon Jacobson ·

2023/05/04

We live in a world where we are constantly categorizing and labeling all our experiences, our products and our entities.
