How to become Rich Today

Learn Breshis 33:11 -

We need to say -
Hashem has granted me Everything !
As Rashi explains - all of my needs.
As we see in Avos 4:1
Who is wealthy ?
One who rejoices with his portion.

Don't make the error of Eisov who said , I have tons , much more than I need.

3 Prayers

We learn that the 3 set times for daily prayer were established by the 3 Avos.

This teaches us how fundamental it is to pray at least 3 times a day. How can we accomplish anything without Hashems help. He is in control , we need His help every step of the way.

The First Verse

Yaakov left one place to go to another place.

We learn a basic lesson. We have Mitzvos to accomplish here while we are here and then more Mitzvos in the new place. See Rashi.
We need to ask ourselves daily what opportunities for growth do I have here today while I am here. ?

Answer

Peace is the greatest container of all blessings.
Thus we say in the Shma that we Love Hashem who created us & gave us His Torah which guides us to the highest levels of peace & perfection.

Part two is the Mitzva to love people & bring them closer to Torah thus we connect to part one.

Action

After all is said & done ,
We need to refer back to Avos 1:15 , to realize that we need to
Say less
And
Do MORE.

We can begin today by looking up the Mishna inside & studying it 5 times.

How are the 3 parts of the Mishna linked together ?

Happiness can be experienced a few moments at a time by closing your eyes or leaving them open & spend a few moments thinking & appreciating some of your many blessings.
