Interesting to see something like this here…. …Sometimes I feel like emuna, while very important, is overemphasized to the point where we feel justified in sitting back and not doing anything. It's important to have a balance between hishtadlut and emuna. Emuna is not a license to be lazy. A good balance is to do what needs to be done while at the same time believing that everything is ultimately from Hashem and the outcome of our actions depends on Hashem.

What about simple happiness? What is wrong with painting your kitchen if it simply makes you happy while maintaining what Hashem gives you?! What is wrong with taking a ceramics class if it makes you happy, ( and provides an outlet to be a better wife, giver and mother)? We are allowed to do things for ourselves without such painful soul-searching! Rabbi Nachman says to do everything possible (within halacha) to achieve happiness in order to attain "yishuv da'at" when it comes to our spiritual path. Smile and be happy….
