Overcoming Your Default | Rabbi Elchonon Jacobovitz

[Music] what's our greatest mistake when it comes to Shir the chabin when he was a young man once had the opportunity to go to the chart's Tish and at that Tish the chart cover said something that stayed with the chabin for the rest of his life he would constantly repeat it the CH said you know we look at our aist like these big black gigantic monstrous things that threaten to engulf us when it comes to our Mitzvah we think of them as these pitiful little creatures that could barely open their mouth but the truth said the chart is that in hashem's eyes it's exactly the opposite because you see when it comes to our Aus when it comes to our Falls are failures after all he knows he created us with and so falling failing that's our default it's when we overcome it's when we're mgab that the looks and says wow that's incredible that's spectacular and that says the chart Giver is what the PK means when it says when the is looking at our at the times that we overcome he says wow those are magnificent incredible mountains when it comes to when it comes to the things that we think the is going to judge us on he says what can I expect where does this fellow live he lives with thear in the zoo of 2024 in theim R of course he falls says the you managed to be an once in a while although though you have a be inside of you all you deserve is yesu and so our greatest mistake when it comes to sh is that we focus on our Falls instead of celebrating our successes theud was once sitting in his study which was located on the Upper Floor of the SCH in Prague when the town muga walked in pulled a knife and said to the nuda show me a or I'll kill you the the bua calmly looks up and he says what type of myus did you have in mind the fellow points to the window and he says I want to see you jump down from that window Thea looks at him and says jumping down that's not a miracle any fool can jump down that's natural watch this I'm going to go outside and jump up through the window that'll be a miracle and with that the nuda made his Escape falling down that's natural that's the default it's going up overcoming that's where the magic is [Music]
