Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz (1873-1936)
Why was the Torah given in the wilderness at Mount Sinai and not in the calm and peacefulness of Israel? This is to teach us that true peace of mind doesn't come from physical comforts, but from an awareness of one's ultimate life goals. When you focus on this, you are constantly traveling toward your goal and will never be overly disturbed or broken.
Rise above the good and the bad. Return your mind and heart to an even keel.
