This was really meant to go out the week of Parshat Lech Lecha. In the beginning of the Parsha Hashem speaks to Avraham and tells him to get up and go. Hashem tells Avraham to leave his birthplace, his family, his comfort zone. What's more, the order to leave is open-ended; Hashem doesn't give Avraham a destination, just to go to the land Hashem will show him...
And Avraham went. He packed up his household and left. He didn't look back.
I think all Olim and all potential olim can take strength from this. Everyone with a dream of living in Israel can take chizuk from Avraham Avinu that we CAN leave it all behind. We CAN follow Hashem through the unknown and make it to the Promised Land.
And if anyone needs more chizuk they can get in touch with me.
