Question: According to many sources, we determine our fate through our thoughts. If we have positive thoughts, we will create positive events and vice versa. Is that true?
Answer: To a certain degree, it is true. There is a positive intention with regard to others behind positive thoughts, yet it isn’t simply about joy, laughter, and smiles, but about creating goodness.
However, this isn’t what the Creator [1] demands of us. He demands that we resemble Him, and at the moment, we don’t feel that the Creator is good, although He is called the absolute good. Therefore, we must learn what spiritual good means. According to the wisdom of Kabbalah [2], this definition is a bit different from the common definition.
