DAY 28, MALCHUS OF NETZACH
In order to prevail over the lower self, you have to see yourself as Hashem’s servant rather than doing whatever you do for the sake of your own self-fulfillment. This attitude will take you being an explorer – looking at your various personality traits with a much higher level of objectivity. When you do this, you too are a ruler!
The key to all of this is tefillah. None of this can be done on your own. You also have to make time to know what Hashem actually wants of you. This comes from learning from sources that stem from the Oral law (such as shulchan aruch or all of the many halachah books that are now available in English). By and large, the written law tells you “what” (for instance, “don’t steal”) and the Oral law tells you “how” (what defines property, what defines damage etc.)
WITH PEOPLE
Try to find a way to give tzedakah to people who teach Navi, which is the way hashem shares his vision of eternity with us. Also, try to light candles or otherwise commemorate the lives of those who now are in the world of eternity, olam haba.
If you see that your friend is discouraged or just not happy, try to give him the gift of happiness. When someone is down, the yetzer hara can defeat him easily so sometimes by just sharing a joke, you can give him enough strength to fight his battles.
