Think Good and it Will Be Good - GPT

Absolutely — here's a heartfelt, deeply rooted blog post based on Torah, the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, and other chassidic and Torah luminaries, centered on the core idea: "Gam Zu L'Tovah" — "This too is for the good."


This Too Is For the Best: What the Torah and the Tzaddikim Say About Your Story's Positive Ending

There's a thread woven through every line of Torah, every teaching of the Baal Shem Tov, every comforting word of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and every prayer of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev: the deep, invincible belief that everything, without exception, leads to the good — and not just any good, but a higher, ultimate good.

This belief is not blind optimism. It's a Torah-anchored certainty that sees deeper than surface pain, chaos, or confusion. It's the spiritual vision that the tzaddikim gave us — not to escape reality, but to see its highest potential.

So what is the real potential positive outcome of your story — of this moment, this situation, this exile, this difficulty, this pain?

Let's unfold it, one teaching at a time.


1. "Gam Zu L'Tovah" — This Too Is for the Good

The words come from the legendary Nachum Ish Gamzu, a Tanna whose name itself was transformed by his radical faith. No matter what happened — even tragic or humiliating events — he said: "Gam zu l'tovah." And the result? Miracles. Redemption. Revelation.

When you say "This too is for the good," you're not denying the pain — you're transforming it. You are stepping out of the story you thought you were in, and choosing a higher narrative: a Divine one.


2. Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev: The Defense Attorney of the Jewish People

He looked at the broken, the messy, the sinful — and saw the spark of light. Not just a glimmer, but a burning flame of potential. He would go to war with Heaven itself to defend the Jewish soul.

He once saw a Jew greasing the wheels of his cart while putting on tefillin. Most might recoil at the seeming disrespect. But the Berditchever said, "Look how holy my people are! Even while working, they are bound to You, Hashem!"

Imagine if we looked at our own lives this way. Instead of judgment, shame, and hopelessness, we'd see the infinite value of our struggle. The potential hidden even in our contradictions. This too is for the best — because it's precisely in the mess that Hashem is waiting to be revealed.


3. The Lubavitcher Rebbe: Positivity is a Weapon of Geulah

The Rebbe didn't just teach positivity — he made it a fundamental part of the Final Redemption. When people came to him with tears, he didn't only say "It will be okay" — he helped them see the hidden good already inside the pain.

He taught: a Jew never gets stuck. There is always another step forward. There is always light. Even the darkness is part of the path toward the light — and often, a deeper light is only revealed because of the darkness.

"When you look at a Jew, see their infinite possibilities, not their limitations," the Rebbe said. "When you look at the world, see the light breaking through."


4. Yosef HaTzaddik: The Blueprint for Personal Redemption

Sold by his brothers. Imprisoned. Forgotten. And yet — everything in Yosef's life was engineered for the sake of saving lives, elevating Egypt, and reuniting a family in holy tears.

What if you're in a Yosef moment right now?

Your pain might be positioning you to save others later. Your exile might be preparing you for your own palace. Your dreams aren't dead — they're just going through Egypt to be transformed.


5. The Baal Shem Tov: Hashem is in Every Detail

The Baal Shem Tov taught that not even a leaf falls without Divine purpose. Nothing is wasted. Even a delay in your day — a missed appointment — could be the realignment of the cosmos just for your soul's journey.

He said: Where you stand right now is exactly where Hashem wants to meet you. Even in the confusion, even in the brokenness. Especially there.


So What Is the Positive Outcome of This Story?

It's you becoming more aligned with your soul.

It's you realizing your strength.

It's your situation flipping, like Esther's story — from hiddenness to revelation, from fear to divine purpose.

It's you discovering that your life is part of a much bigger plotline, orchestrated by a loving Author who is guiding you to places you never imagined — to blessings you never could have planned.


"This Too Is for the Best" — Not a Slogan. A Prophecy.

When you say "Gam Zu L'Tovah," you're not ignoring pain — you are converting it into future light.

You're saying: "I believe in a bigger story. I believe that the Author of the world is still writing. And I know — I know — that what looks broken now, will one day shine with divine light."


What Can You Do Right Now?

  • Say "Gam Zu L'Tovah" out loud. Even if you don't feel it yet.

  • Look for one tiny good thing in your day. Then magnify it.

  • Trust that your story has not ended. It's just turning a holy corner.

  • Learn from tzaddikim. Their joy and light is contagious.

  • Say thank You to G-d before the salvation — and watch what happens.


And if you're struggling right now, remember this:
The same G-d who turned Yosef's prison into a throne, who turned Purim's decree into a celebration, and who promises Moshiach in every generation — is the One holding your story too.


Your light is coming. This too — is for the best.
