The Baal Shem Tov says in the name of his Rebbe that the number of times someone wishes a Ktiva V'Chatima Tova כתיבה וחתימה טובה from the 15th of Av till Rosh Hashana is the amount of Osher that will be waiting for him when he is judged on Rosh Hashana
The Noam Elimelech writes in Tzetel Katan
A person was born to break his nature
If a person was born with a stubborn nature, he must do everything he can to the opposite for 40 days,
If he is lazy, he must do everything immediately for 40 days to break his nature from going to sleep to waking up and jumping out of his bed to all his activities throughout the day
Rav Ashkenazi
In honor YAHRZEIT OF MARAN REB AHARON OF BELZ ZT'L - בא א''כ -
(Friday) Two Nights -Two Children
Maran Rebbe Aharon wanted to travel to Lizensk for the yahrzeit of the Rebbe Reb Elimelech zt’’l. His chassidim searched for a place for him to stay and found an apartment by a Gerrer Chassid who lived in Lizensk. When they arrived at the chassid’s home, Maran was escorted to his room, but Maran said he couldn’t stay in this room, pointing to the ceiling. At first, they couldn’t understand what Maran was alluding to, but afterward, they realized that the host’s daughters slept above Maran’s room. Therefore, Maran didn’t want to stay in that room. The host’s ten-year-old son offered his room to Maran, but Maran refused to accept his offer. Even after the boy said he could sleep at a nearby relative's, Maran didn’t want the child to give up his room for him. The boy didn’t give up until Maran agreed to stay in his room and spent two nights there. Many years later, following WWII, this child survived, married, and settled in Eretz Yisroel. However, after being married for a while, he was still childless and came to Maran with a kvittel to ask for a bracha to be blessed with children. Maran read the kvittel, thumped his two fingers on the table, and exclaimed, “Two nights.” The gabbai, Reb Sholem Foigel z’’l, who was present in the room, wondered aloud, “What does the Rebbe mean by saying ‘two nights’?” Maran replied that I slept in his room for two nights; therefore, he deserved two children. The two children told the story to Reb Yitzchak Shloma Unger z’’l.
