When we want something in our lives, we make it happen through hard work, perseverance, and a belief in ourselves. Desire - for something more, or something we don't yet have - is what drives us to achieve what we want in life. This week, the energy of Terumah supports the building up of our vessels, or our desires. When we focus on our desire, elevating it to one of sharing, we are given the spiritual means necessary to achieve it.
