There is a tremendous amount of spiritual energy out there that Hashem is waiting to give to us, as long as we try. Rabbi Nachman of Breslov would often quote a Zohar that controlling one's desires and passions makes them the channel for beracha, abundance and reward, to flow into the world. Practically, what that means is that if you control yourself, Hashem will cause beracha to flow into all that you do. You will begin to accomplish more. Become more successful. You will begin to see an extra measure of Syatah Di'Shemyah--help from Heaven--in all of your actions.
