Taking Responsibility for Your Life (Part 2): Growing from Adversity (Mishlei 19:3)

A person's foolishness makes his way crooked both in the physical realm and in the spiritual realm. We tend to blame God or external circumstances for the bad when in fact we have the choice to have avoided those things or in spite of those negatives to continue to grow.

Rebbi Elazar ben Dordia came to the realization that one always has the ability to take control of one's life ("אין הדבר תלוי אלא בי").
