In it he says: <br /><br />"So many Yeshiva kids and Kollel young men are bored and unproductive in their Torah because they lack aspirations. Create challenges for yourself! Pick a subject, like “joy” or “charity” and learn everything that the Gemara, Midrash, Zohar, and Shulchan Aruch say about it. Become an expert in your field of interest. Decide to write a book, too. Wait and see how these aspirations will fuel your learning, your praying, your hitbodedut, and your entire service of Hashem. You’ll be so much more energized and happy, and you’ll achieve so much more."<br /><br />http://www.breslev.co.il/articles/spirituality_and_faith/personal_growth/aspirations__spice_of_life.aspx?id=19938&language=englishYishainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-69711771360273665922011-11-18T11:51:56.464-05:002011-11-18T11:51:56.464-05:00It's a good question and one each person shoul...It's a good question and one each person should be cognizant of. Speaking personally, I would think one way is to ask oneself whether he wants to learn some other part of Torah specifically instead of primarily gemara, or does he want to learn nothing/less. If it's the latter, it's probably laziness.<br /><br />On the other hand, one could be drawn to gemara but still be lazy, and might just want to learn something else because for him, it's eaiser. For this possibility, I might think a good test would be to ask oneself whether he would enjoy learning this more than anything else but for his desire not to work as hard intellectually. <br /><br />If that's the case, then the eitza would probably be to learn about/work on/daven about his mida of atzlus.DixieYid (يهودي جنوبي)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03713423988723533390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-71179722404637925302011-11-18T11:41:44.883-05:002011-11-18T11:41:44.883-05:00How can one know if his problem with a given area ...How can one know if his problem with a given area of study is not just laziness?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-30325877964400011272011-11-18T11:13:08.335-05:002011-11-18T11:13:08.335-05:00Beautiful.
