  ALL of these maamorim boil down to

  Instruct and acclimatize the brain, the intellect, how to control and refine the emotions.

  I.e. all details in how the brain should rule the heart.

    For a deep take on lose yourself. See Eminem lyrics to his song loose yourself. ​One frame that helps me start to feel this idea is to start to observe/watch myself like I observe and watch others. A little detachment from and I call Me. It’s not easy but as you start to practice it, It starts to become easier and more natural.

  2 types of humble people

  The first says :"see how humble I am! I get first prize for humility!"

  The second has no interest how his humility rates, he's just plain humble.

  A real love includes going away if sent by the loved one

  By going away as requested, one shows a deeper love to do that which the beloved asks for.

  But....it says we must listen to the baal habayis in everything he asks EXVEOT6 to leave! If our beloved says to leave permanently, must one listen to show love? Did Hashem send us away permanently or were we just sent away temporarily on a mission (to refine the world) before being summoned back?

  So true closeness

  to GD and to another person is only there when each side (only?) thinks about the other?

  Trauma, trauma, trauma

  The focus is often on trauma. Sure people have trauma. But compare to previous generations that went thru a holocaust, a depression, hunger, the wholesale loss of family, pogroms, etc. And was that generation obsessed with trauma?  Or, did the survivors by and large just pick up the pieces, brush themselves off and begin to recreate that which they lost? 

  Compared to them most of our trauma is about far less serious matters. True tho that the biggest problem one has, the most traumatic event on one's life, is, FOR HIM, his worst problem and trauma, but still, objectively .....

  The maamer talks about Simcha and then humility

  Now, Hashem gives each one of us certain gifts and then denies each of us other gifts He has given others .

  We are commanded not to jealous or covet the gifts others have. We are given precisely what we need to accomplish our unique goal in life.

  How does this relate to the Simcha and humility spoken about in the maamer?

  Simcha is to rejoice in that which we were given. Humility is to not covet what others have and to realize that those gifts given to others are not needed for our perfection.  

  We need both Simcha and humility

    One can also label Simcha and humility as referring to that which you were given (be happy about that, simcha); and that which you do not yet have and must work for (be humble that you don't have it yet and must work for it).
