The Greatness Is Within YOU - R. Yaakov Moskowitz - TorahAnytime.com

You know, in 1965, a San Francisco elementary school handed out a list to all of their teachers of the children in their particular class that are predicted to experience growth spurts throughout the year. They were told that a Harvard psychologist evaluated all the students. And he was able to tell which ones have the capabilities to really be able to accomplish over the course of this year. And then they tracked them and it turned out that those students that were on the list really ended up experiencing tremendous growth in their academic achievement over the course of that year. But but what the teachers didn't know is that that list was actually randomly selected. There was no Harvard psychologist doing any test. And it was understood that the reason why those children achieved so much is because people believed in them and in turn they believed in themselves and in their capabilities. I really can achieve a lot. I really do have the ability to accomplish and in turn they experienced tremendous growth spurts. We're approaching Russash. We say in the this is the day of the beginning of creation. This is the day that Harish was created and rev tells us that this is a new beginning for every single individual. He says this means literal rejuvenation. A person on Russia Shana becomes a brand new person able to start fresh, able to start new. And how do we do that? By recognizing the great co-host, the incredible strengths that all of us really have. Unfortunately, so many people get set back by limiting beliefs, things that hold them back that don't allow them to have those growth spurts. But the same way the children at San Francisco were given the permission to really believe in themselves, we can do the same. And we can have tremendous growth spurts.
