The Gratitude Mentor
The Mission: Finding The Magnficent In The Seemingly Mundane
Dayenu
The Song Of Gratitude( find the basic text ,in english below)
What do you mean"If He had split the sea for us, and had not taken us through it on dry land Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!"
How would that have sufficed?
If we had not been taken through the split sea on dry land we would have drowned--G-d forbid.This does not make sense!!!!!!! or maybe it does
The point here , I think, is no matter the result appreciate what is done for you at every step:
Appreciate the effort
Appreciate the intention
Appreciate the care
and if it does work out celebrate the victory no matter how small .
As when you celebrate for example only 5 small victories a day that is 1800 victories a year.In so doing you empower and fuel yourself to carry on , never losing hope ,to greater victories and life at a different level.
As Dayenu shows that no matter the result when we focus on gratitude on seeing the gift ,celebrating the small victories
"If He had brought us into the land of Israel, and had not built for us the Beit Habechirah (Chosen House; the Beit Hamikdash) Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!"........and on
we continue to grow .. and soar higher and higher

How many levels of favors has the Omnipresent One bestowed upon us:
If He had brought us out from Egypt, and had not carried out judgments against them Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had carried out judgments against them, and not against their idols Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had destroyed their idols, and had not smitten their first-born Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had smitten their first-born, and had not given us their wealth Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had given us their wealth, and had not split the sea for us Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had split the sea for us, and had not taken us through it on dry land Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had taken us through the sea on dry land, and had not drowned our oppressors in it Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had drowned our oppressors in it, and had not supplied our needs in the desert for forty years Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had supplied our needs in the desert for forty years, and had not fed us the manna Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had fed us the manna, and had not given us the Shabbat Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had given us the Shabbat, and had not brought us before Mount Sinai Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had brought us before Mount Sinai, and had not given us the Torah Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had given us the Torah, and had not brought us into the land of Israel Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!
If He had brought us into the land of Israel, and had not built for us the Beit Habechirah (Chosen House; the Beit Hamikdash) Dayenu, it would have sufficed us!(translation from Chabad.org)
