I want to share with you an amazing story of shark was once being escorted out of a hospital by the head of the Cardiology Department unit and as he was walking with this cardiologist he felt a need to do some Curious to bring this man closer to Hashem he was Jewish he was just not observant so he turns to him and he says can I ask you a question he says yeah sure you could ask me a question he says well if you don't mind me asking what car do you drive the man was a little bit taken aback why is the rabbi so curious what car I drive what's the difference what car I drive it's a rabbi you know he's not into the physicality of this world so he says well if you if you must know I drive a Mercedes he says oh you drive a Mercedes and what was the car that you drove before this he says before the Mercedes I was driving also a Mercedes and the car before that the car that I drove before that was also a Mercedes why do you keep buying the same car this is Rabbi I know you don't know too much about automobiles but Mercedes always comes out with new features they always look for a way to improve the car they always somehow make it faster more sleek and they always somehow find a way to make it more attractive so I always make sure to be updated and upgraded so make sure I get the best card the best model out there so he says so you're telling me the next model is going to be even better than one you have now absolutely so it says can I ask you another question he says yes he says the heart is there anything that we can do to improve the heart he says absolutely not what if we move the vowel can we make it more functional can we make it perform even better put a piece inside there just to improve it because there's nothing we could do to improve the heart because why is that the Mercedes were able to improve but uh the hardware not able to improve so he says well I have to admit it's because Mercedes was invented by people and people are not perfect and people are prone to error and because they're not perfect they're not going to be able to reach Perfection they're always going to try to find a different feature to improve they always try to reach Perfection but they're not because we're not perfect but God is perfect and everything that God does is perfect and God always scores 100 on everything he does and therefore being that the heart was created by God it's perfect says you're telling me that Mercedes were there millions of dollar budget thousands of employees from all over the globe from all over the world try to make the perfect car and they still can't make it with all their brains and yet you're telling me God he made it right the first time in the first try he said yes and that gave more appreciation towards God towards Hashem but I think the lesson to us is that God does not make mistakes God always gets it right at every attempt and if we have this attitude we would realize that nothing in my life is a coincidence or an accident or a random roll of dice it's not haphazard that I ended up with this spouse or I ended up in this relationship that ended up in this situation that I ended up with this child that this Soul landed out of all the places landed right in my home and now I have to learn how to deal with him or I have to deal with her that is not a coincidence that I ended up with the parents that I ended up this is also from Hashem you have this attitude you start to realize that I could handle this that I could overcome this that I could outgrow this and now it's my turn to take God's gift and to maintain it to take God's right decision and to make the most out of it
