Healthy Regret vs Depression True TeShuva
Does regret over past mistakes have to lead to depression? In this powerful lesson, discover the true meaning of TeShuva and why proper repentance brings genuine happiness and closeness to HaShem rather than lingering despair. Authentic TeShuva begins with cutting off the wrong action and completely removing yourself from the environments and influences that lead back to it, allowing your life to improve by aligning with the will of HaShem. Rabbi Yaron Reuven says, falling is an expected part of being human, but accepting failure and staying down on the floor is the real mistake. Healthy regret simply recognizes the missed opportunity to draw close to HaShem sooner, whereas perpetual sorrow and self-blame actually deny the validity of TeShuva and question God's limitless mercy. Learn how to leave your past behind, trust fully in HaShem's forgiveness, and rise up stronger on the right path.
