On the path of our professional and personal lives, we constantly encounter situations that seem obstructive: a project that gets inexplicably delayed, a decision that doesn’t turn out as we hoped, or an unforeseen event that disrupts all our plans. The immediate reaction is often frustration, worry, and even the feeling of moving backward.
But what if each of these events contains an inherent purpose and is orchestrated for your highest good?
My name is Alejandro Herryman, and today I want to share one of the most profound teachings of Kabbalah: an ancient perspective that can completely redefine your relationship with challenges and strengthen your trust in the process of life.
The Fundamental Premise: Everything Has a Divine Purpose
Kabbalistic wisdom teaches us something revolutionary: every experience on your path, without exception, has a divine purpose and is oriented toward your ultimate good.
This is not a call for denial of reality or naive optimism. Rather, it is training to expand our vision, to look beyond the surface of events and recognize that, even in what seems like chaos or loss, there is a spark of Light waiting to be revealed and activated by our consciousness.
Gam Zu L’Tovah: The Mantra of Unconditional Trust
The ancient Kabbalistic sages cultivated a phrase to anchor this deep conviction in their daily lives:
“Gam Zu L’Tovah” – “This Too Is for the Good”
This is not a simple affirmation; it is a philosophical and spiritual stance that declares an unwavering trust in a higher intelligence that orchestrates every detail of existence, even when our limited perception cannot discern the complete plan.
The Traveler’s Tale: A Timeless Parable
Consider the classic narrative of the individual who, following a series of “unfortunate” incidents on a journey, loses all their belongings, only to discover later that those same events diverted them from an imminent danger that wiped out the other travelers.
The lesson is powerful: what appears in one moment as an insurmountable obstacle can be, in retrospect, an intervention that saves or redirects your path. A professional setback today may be paving the way for an opportunity that transcends your expectations tomorrow.
Conscious Action and Acceptance: The Dynamic Duality of Success
It is essential to clarify that this wisdom does not encourage passivity or the justification of inaction.
Trusting that everything is for the good does not mean:
- Delegating responsibility for your circumstances
- Ignoring injustices
- Stopping work on your goals
On the contrary, this perspective frees you to act with greater determination and clarity. You can work tirelessly to improve your reality and the world, but free from the burden of anxiety, fear, and hopelessness.
You act with the serenity of one who understands that every challenge, no matter how arduous, contains a constructive purpose. Trust does not nullify your action; it amplifies it.
The Metaphor of the Broken Vessel: Your Unique Mission in the World
Kabbalah describes creation as the result of a “vessel” that shattered under the intensity of a primordial Light. Every part of creation, from a human being to a complex situation, contains remnants of that original divine Light.
Your Essential Purpose
Our existential mission is to identify and release these sparks of Light through our choices, interactions, and contributions.
Herein lies a profound personal key: every soul has a unique assignment. Your innate talents, your life’s journey, and yes, even your greatest adversities, are the signals that show you which sparks only you can release.
That which you do with ease and excellence is no coincidence; it is the expression of your intrinsic mission.
4 Steps to Apply This Wisdom in Your Life
- Proactive Reframing
When faced with an obstacle, whether a logistical delay or a difference of opinion, adopt the mantra: “This too is for the good.” This is not to suppress frustration, but to remember the existence of a purpose that has not yet been revealed. - Inquire into the Hidden Purpose
Instead of falling into complaint, ask the question: “What constructive potential might lie in this circumstance? What spark of Light is waiting to be discovered?” This cognitive shift opens doors to innovative solutions and personal growth. - Synergy Between Faith and Action
Maintain an unwavering faith in the divine orchestration, but diligently do your part. Make that important call, send that crucial email, approach that difficult conversation with courage and love. - Activate Your Primary Gift
Reflect on your most natural skills:- Is it empathetic listening?
- Strategic organization?
- Innovative creativity?
- Inspirational leadership?
Intentionally dedicate that talent to the service of a greater good. In doing so, you are releasing the sparks entrusted to you and actively contributing to the mending of the world.
The Most Beautiful Paradox of Spirituality
This teaching embodies one of the most profound truths: your commitment is to act, mend, and enrich the world with all your abilities, while cultivating the absolute certainty that everything, in its essence, is already contained within divine perfection.
When you live in this dual dynamic:
- The weight of uncertainty transforms into deep conviction
- Chaos is redefined as opportunity
- You access an inner peace that comes from knowing that everything is, ultimately, for the good
