We just started the second month of Adar this is the month in which our Sages teach us that a person should increase their happiness. Happiness what everyone is trying to achieve in life and many people never find it. R' Elimelech Biderman related the following insight in the name of the Rebbe M'Tzorchava. He explains that a person should learn three things from a toddler. The first thing is that a toddler is always in motion, always busy and doing. The second thing is that when a toddler wants something he doesn't stop crying until he gets it. The final thing is that when a toddler gets what he wants he is filled with happiness. A person should try to always be busy doing and accomplishing, we should cry out and pray to Hashem when we need something until we get it, when we do get it we should be filled with joy. The reason we are not filled with joy is because we start thinking about what else we will need in the future. A toddler doesn't think about what they will need they are happy in the moment they have what the need and want. They are not concerned about what they may need in another day, week, year or decade. If we focus on the moment on what we have right now it will help us attain happiness. 

R'Biderman related a story of a man who went to his rabbi to ask him for a blessing that he should be successful in a certain business endeavor. The rabbi blessed him but told him that when he sees success he should make sure he gives money to tzedakah. The man was wildly successful in his business and he saw a tremendous profit. That night after the deal closed and he profited handsomely, the rabbi knocked on his door. The man answered and graciously welcomed the rabbi and asked him how he could help. The rabbi explained that he wanted him to make a donation to his yeshiva. The man happily complied and wrote the rabbi a very generous check. The man asked the rabbi why he bothered to come over to his house at night to ask for the donation? He would have happily come to the rabbi and given him a donation. The rabbi responded and told the man that tonight you look at the money you made in this deal as profit and you will happily give, tomorrow though you will look at this money as principal already and won't be as generous. When we receive something we quickly forget that it is "profit" it isn't something that is owed to us it is all gift. We quickly begin to think that the gift we received yesterday was a payment that was due to us.

May these divrei Torah be in the merit of a speedy recovery for Miriam bas Gittel
