started back then in the way it's continuing yeah it's amazing it's like we were discussing it happens to be uh not giving up hope to give up hope and uh I want to rewind a little bit more that I've been in touch upon this yet a few years ago I remember that the rabbit went through a very difficult medical and health uh uh situation in life some people even gave up hope there was even a message that I didn't know about it but the rabbi stay strong broccoli is here with us today can you please tell us more about that whole uh yeah scenario yes I think I think personally that I was involved very much with a cushwood then he talks a lot of me that's why it was worse than the army that I was the responsibilities and everything else it was too much so I just I started to feel at night and I have a sweat and that's a sign of a cancer oh wow but I didn't know that I didn't know that so also people I feel that I'm host a little bit I went to my ENT ire and he looked inside the Sun I think you have somewhere I'll give you a lot of antibiotics and I had to go to tourism foreign [Music] I came back from inside straight I went to him again the answer and me going to a doctor until I came here yeah it took me a while I don't want to see them anyway he said let me take a look he took a look you know I told me I had to take a biopsy he said I don't know just to miss you okay he took one it was not pleasant because I know yes you never know to my throat putting their exam to the lab it was energy I will never forget this to shower [Music] okay bye Friday I got the results oh wow that I have a Cancer and someday I have to speak by khazak oh my gosh nobody knew what I have right same jokes and same thing I kept it for for myself because I said I have to do a job okay I'll fight it somehow [Music] okay I have that and it sprints inspiratory stomach okay so I started uh chemotherapy until we got there until we found a doctor but let me tell you what I said to the doctor and it's for everybody to learn something I told them are you a doctor he says yes I told him okay you know I told him you know and I have to educate you a little bit you're not a doctor and it was a glory the doctor was a glory a nice guy very nice guy but he couldn't take himself what do you mean back there cured like that so you have to win everybody are you sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't disappears you why I don't subject then then actors okay he says so who I am so let me use the message so I'll pray that you the right messenger for me wow but you have to understand that the doctor is up there foreign I have something to tell my wife tonight yeah and next time I came look how smart he was so the nurse came in to check me she said okay you find that the Messenger will come here to see you wow he got the message he told everybody he said what is however I came I'm not an actor we're Messengers I'm a messenger it's true how powerful good so I went through chemo it was not pleasant at all we should never know but nobody should know that nobody should see it nobody should know this was a match I couldn't walk I took two steps though I I couldn't go up the stairs I was half a person and me I wasn't I was an athlete I was very active just to overcome this that's a fight that's a woso and I used to say to myself I'm not going to stay like this I'm not going to stay like this and I followed every day out of therefore I didn't give up hope everyone and I want to show people I got a demo two days before young people I I said they met you is that much more it might be that I'm doing yeah all the hair is in my hand oh wow okay you have to accept it so now that they need me so I have to fast how can I fast my doctor told me you can have faster Maybe I said you talking to the wrong guy you have to find an agent to find a way so I found a way Ivy um 32nd Avenue was somebody from atala his name was Charles Charles's name I told him Charles you you can account to the show you bought my IV and every time you have to change it I stood all day oh wow for my morning until evening I didn't sit maybe to maybe two times And The Ivy is here in my hand that's how I have to perform wow for the people to say if there is a will there's a way there is a way you don't give up you don't break this I don't like if something if you wanted to say another example don't don't like it I don't like quitters I don't like it um so it was a mindset the world had a mind had to give up might matter my family I see my kids you know they're afraid it's friends and I look he's out of our hands we have to have spirits so Hashem Hashem is here I love it you might have to stay on stage man nothing happens powerful powerful that the mindset of other thoughts but I I told my kids but I'm not going anywhere yet ah I love it amazing so so so imagine an individual that's not going through a health uh situation or a medical issue it might be going through financial difficulties family Harmony issues or children issues does this mindset work I think you have to know it's an obstacle it's a challenge and if Hashem chose you meaning you're capable if you're not why should Hashem give you something that you're not capable so everybody has to understand if you have any difficulty child marriage work whatever it is if Hashem Santa told you the same way that you know let's say you have a flat attire and you don't have a check and you have a son five years old and say my dear son do me a favor can you pick up the car until I change the there when a person starting to complain is like they saying to a shame I'm saying why did you send me such an obstacle I'm I'm five years old I cannot leave the gun what that's what Hashem does powerful wow to 100 that's the way to look at things yes so nothing should it's on the character by the way Mr why Me Maybe I did this Russian words to punish me ashamed wants to show you how much God why punishment why are you going to punishment why it's like picking up weights exactly and this will make you a match a person if he wants to be away wait lifter nothing will come out of him okay actually we all looking to lift pen all day long even your organization if you don't learn obstacle you're not what you are today we have a lot of obstacles and I'm happy for you foreign we pray for no difficulties in life but if the difficulties come then we have the ability to overcome them yeah obviously we shouldn't pray please give me no no no no no no no no but if it comes maybe Hashem wants to show you that there are few things that you didn't yet reveal about yourself I haven't really imagine the person came over here for a mission and he left this world not using even one or one tool that Hashem gave him to fulfill the mission wow what a waste yeah what a waste 100 percent um Rabbi you're saying nah my talking about very very sweet words and Powerful Words and true words okay of course we're not we're talking Tara we had this is great we know that that that have other and a difficult wife oh yes everything your mother says difficult is difficult whatever we say I'm not so sure but whatever said he had a difficult wife it came to a point that the time we didn't told them until when why are you taking such an abuse today they're going to say she is abusive this is that okay okay I can say honey surprisingly enough he went and every time she hit him hell he bought her a gift and determined his hands instead of taking care of school and a bad thing to give it a gift in the back of what are you doing he said okay we'll discuss it one day she gave him her baby a long one anytime that's it he said okay okay but I have to go to them so I'm I'm coming back he went to Saks Fifth Avenue who knows how much you paid that he told them theyeno she may God lord and my name is our children there is our children and she taking them to the issue she's not existing this from and we don't have any any problem when it comes between me and her intimacy life there is no problem over there she don't let me do I will not answer nothing not on the agenda my happy years ago he said that's directors I want to add into it okay very good sure he said he never a gift why because of her he became up here if she will not gonna put any weight on him he will not be what he is how do you know how much patience you have your wife and kids yeah for sure when you were in the gym right did you know how much patient you will have no no life was good we're studying learning the book is closing come on bedtime really shows me how much patience you take the standard from here to there it's not coming back here right so somebody have to challenge you the more you challenge the more you know who you are so the Priya had completely different I love Africa Outlook on the situation he said she is my trainer to let me know who I am from and that's why [Music] don't believe me because if you're gonna leave me I'm not going to be in yeah [Music] we need that the pressure of ASAP in order to be like wow amazing inspiration unbelievable I wish we could go on and on around forever no no no we have one last uh one last uh you know we have a custom I mean to our talks which is one final message even though you know Diana right but if we could get one more uh last piece of the gym I'd appreciated I'm looking at the camera according to the audience okay we're looking as well and I want to say to everybody I was not once maybe twice maybe at my Army days also I saw death few times in my life okay I want to save everybody every obstacle that you have in life you have to talk to yourself and you have to appreciate yourself and you have to know you all of us we are the children of Hashem we have an examples that come from Hashem we are so strong we don't know how strong we are and that's the crisis how can we say that Hashem is weak the moment that I'm looking at myself as a weak person is also weak you have any Sharma foreign how can you give up you can overcome any obstacle why because you are part of God and that's the message to all of us okay yes life now is not easy we see things that we never saw in our entire life but we're not going to cave in we cannot get in because we are when when you see this you know how strong we are the second again okay we'll pass through this and to you I would have to say back to me and my dear you know that I care very much you know in my heart always sometimes you already find coming after you say you know what it's too
