Torah in Ten: Behar-Bechukotai
Every Person is a Diamond
A recent survey among millennials uncovered troubling trends: eight out of ten young adults believe they are not “good enough” in various areas of their lives. Nearly three-quarters reported feeling overwhelmed by constant pressure to excel in their careers, build meaningful relationships, and meet the expectations of others.
While many pointed to external influences such as social media, family, and peer comparisons, a significant number admitted that the harshest pressure came from within. In a generation blessed with unprecedented opportunity, why do so many still feel inadequate and unfulfilled?
Perhaps the answer lies not in chasing validation through achievement, but in cultivating a deeper, internal sense of self-worth. Instead of focusing solely on what we do, we must reconnect with who we are.
