Shnayim Yomi - Devarim - Shlishi - #3- Rabbi Yaniv Meirov

reminds me of an individual whose nightmare was to be locked in a freezer. He worked in a factory and uh I remember my older brother had a supermarket many many years ago and the freezers, the walk-in freezers, if it would close on you, you wouldn't be able to get out. It was scary and unfortunately his nightmare came true and one day the freezer door closes on him. It was a big freezer walking and unfortunately he passes away and everyone was devastated and sad of course but when they looked into the matter they saw something really shocking. The freezer wasn't working. It wasn't on, but his mind was he was worried. He thought that he was gonna freeze to death, but his mind is what killed him. And we see this in where it talks about the spies. We know in parach where we're discussing in detail. It says over there how the spies said that we look like grasshoppers in our eyes and so we were in their eyes. The way they perceive themselves which was small is the way the enemies perceive them as well. And it's a very very big lesson. The way we look in ourselves, the way we look at ourselves, the way others going to look at us. If a person walks into the room and he tells himself that he's a shy individual, you know what others are going to look at him as a shy individual. The power of perception, the power of the mind, it's something that a person if he really works on, he could really grow in very very big heights. In the other way as well, a person is where his mind is. If a person's mind is thinking positive thoughts, he's going to have positive outlook, positive feelings. On the other hand, as well, if a person is thinking negative and his actions and his ways are going to be negative as well. Let's take this lesson to heart work in our minds to be positive, to think good things so we don't come to make the sins that the mira did and speak negative.
