Chesed of Netzach - Counting the Omer - "Success comes from G-d" - Rabbi Alon Anava

[Music] we're starting the week of Metsa Nitza is of course can be translated as victory I translated Nets up in many different ways because last week we talked at Nets off is also nice cute eternal something that is eternal but now we're going to concentrate that knits up is coming from the word needs a horn it's a horn means of victory and we all like victories everybody likes to be victorious I don't know anybody who plays a game and is like a please I can't wait to lose I want to lose this game our nature is to win we want to be winners and not only that we want to be winners we vote for the winners I want my team to be the winner the whole world is one big game if you're looking at the game at the world it's a world of games not only right now that the the majority of population of the world their entire focus is on some type of a game whether it's basketball or baseball or whatever it is I mean this is the most powerful thing in this planet in sports and games everybody it's about games and it's a very competitive world so you can look at it in a very negative way but it's coming from very very positive place then we all in house have this power that wants to win to be victorious so going into the week of net suck it's important to focus on what we need to what we need to work on week of the ferret then we had to refine the beauty week of the strength and so for now we're gonna have to concentrate on this power of victory of net soccer net surface it's a hone to win now like I said people like to win and like I said also the world is full of games and I don't know anybody who walks into a game with the mindset of how am I losing here you're walking into a game how am i winning here so important thing to know is because I said twice that the world is full of game the world the whole world is a game if you're looking at everything in this world is one big game even in the eyes of a shame it's all one big game what's going on here we're in a game we're like a you know there's now some movies about it this world is like a video game that you have a mission you have stages and you know sometimes it's easier to give analogies in the Torah and to compare to a video game but nevertheless in this world some games are serious some serious games sometimes you play chess it's a game now you have world leaders that are playing games that can cost millions and millions of lives so some games in this world are serious games and they're not something to joke around with now you have a few world leaders that are bumping shoulders to each other all it takes is one of them to be angry that he lost and that's what it takes you see this motion it's not a hard motion it goes like this and hundreds of millions of people are gonna be under a mushroom cloud that's how sometimes you see wait a minute Who am I playing games with here nevertheless some games should be taken serious now we all have a certain pool in us this is a custom made its built-in to win everybody has that everybody has this Drive take now three-year-olds put a board game and they all want to win and if one loses the whole board games is upside down there's always the one that usually who likes to lose some people they have a little bit of a quality that they're fine with losing and you know why they're fine with losing because they have a mechanism in them and this can even found in young kids next time I'm gonna win next time I'm gonna I could I saw what he was doing next time I'm gonna come from here which is a very healthy way of thinking sometimes you know when he brews Salo Misaki Mobley matically me this is a term in in in in Hebrew which to say it in the in kindergarten I don't want a break I'm breaking older all the vessels this is what kids say slow mustafa games okay lame it's a song we go to kindergarten that's what this thing looks okay I don't want to play you want I'm not playing with you but nevertheless we all have a pool to win we also have a pool to the one who is the winner we all want to cheer for the winner if my player whatever or the team that I cheer for they lose I'm not happy about that some people take it to such an extent you see what violence there is when the team loses shame you'll examine some football games or whatever if the team loses or what's going on in the exits in the in the outside I recall it there where the seats are but nevertheless we constantly get pulled to the winners we like winners as a nature and you know why because we want to find some common denominator with the winner I want to find like oh I like this winner because I find some resemblance here in Hebrew it's called mr. him I see something in him that I like that I want so with that said taking the definition of net sock which is Nitza horn victory it's also can be explained in a completely different way and that's called success and everybody wants to be successful in business in relationships and whatever you do in your studies I don't know people who go to university and says I'm just fine with just getting my license no I don't get good grades I want to be successful here so victory can also be equivalent to success success in neighborhoods called ha ha ha now here comes the major test who is responsible for your success and the answer is very simple on the ecological you win because the Chimel a debt and when you lose because of shame honor that this is what all boils down to how do I take my victories in my success and on the other hand how do I relate to my losses and my failures so I need to learn and this is not an easy thing but I need to learn how to take a use of the pool that I have in me to win and we all have it by the way it's custom-made its built-in it's part of our components I need to know how to take advantage of that now how do I do that usually and again I'm talking very very general when you're looking at the territory of sports let's say a young boy he plays basketball he finds one basketball player that he likes the most and says I want to be like him so he learned his moves right he wears the shirts like like the guy he's number seven I'm number seven why cuz you love the winner you love that that's your and I'm talking an example in the sports world you take it to anywhere any any territory you want I'm saying sport cuz that's very common it's also easy to relate with but the point is that I want to take this love to win and to really nourish it and take advantage of it saying in other words to want to be the winner I want to be a winner a lot of people they lose so many times they're ready give up I'll never make it and which is very childish never give up you might win after 80 years and again the idea of Metsa now let's put aside the word victory needs a horn let's concentrate on success and everybody wants to be successful what's very interesting here to see this is very hard to teach sometimes in English because in English it's hard to give over certain things look at them in Hebrew it's just perfect because that's their the source how do you say how do you write to win Nessa or the sphere of nets are known sadiq and hit right how do you say success in hebrew ha ha ha the roots of success of santa ha is Salam Sadiq lemon head very very very similar to nitsa Salah Anita I have the static in the head ok here has alarmed and unknown but the roots very very similar so the victory is where we taking that victory is really the success in my life so what is Casa Bonita what is the love in Nessa how do I apply that first of all I have to understand so because this is the beginning of the week of nights are that the week should be concentrated on the power of victory and success and we all want success in our lives and we all get very disappointed when there's no success and the success can be in dating I can date somebody now I love the person and the didn't wasn't successful the person doesn't like me called off their wedding whatever it is some people go into depression for 3 years because somebody dumped him and the pastor said I'm not trying to hurt anybody's feelings I'm just putting things in the right perspective it's not only successful in business I don't know anybody who starts a business and says I want this business to go down to the ground I'm investing now a hundred thousand dollars and I'm expecting in two years to lose all the money who does such a thing why because I want everything that I do to be successful so first of all I have to understand again Nessa we're gonna concentrate a lot this week about Vic to be victorious but also success now what is hesita Bonita has said is love that's my tool to be successful now why do I need to be to have a pool to be successful because the colosseo has a system that he likes to put somebody down not to humiliate or to break that person to see how you're getting up let's see how you're gonna get up and ashame will do one time and another time and another time put you through a challenge question another challenge crush you not to hurt you to build you tomorrow Brasada shame it's Friday we're gonna learn and we're gonna read every Friday we read the same song like howdy everybody rings it everybody reads it far the ashkenazi has he name everybody reads it and with no changes some things in our prayers everybody does the same reveal ecology was written by Rabbi Olivier Sir Malcolm it yeah Holly be he's buried down here next to the result he compiled it very very mystical some but in the fourth power it's not really a verse but in the fourth line there's a magical line that says Heath Nariman Falco me get up from the dust from the dirt and brush off all the dirt now in many ways of interpreting it but God pushes you now he says now get up let's see how you're gonna get up are you gonna stake down on the ground excuse my language right now you like a loser or you're gonna get up and say nothing happened I messed up I lost this time next time I'm gonna get it next time and that's the attitude that I need to build you know why because Hashem is doing it not from a place of evil from price of building I want to build my kids now I have a lot of young kids I want them to be strong I want them to have good personalities I want them to affect their communities and people around I want them to be normal healthy people I'm not designing architects or doctors I don't care what they want to do my son wants to be a plumber let him be a plumber I can care less what he's going to be you know what I care that he's gonna be honest that is gonna be a mensch that is gonna be loving and giving and he's gonna have good me do it what he's gonna do for a living I can care less that's up to the calash baho some parents are like no you have to be a lawyer I don't want to be a doctor why are you putting me somewhere I don't want to be want me to be a miserable doctor I rather be a happy plumber so with my kids what's important to me that's where I told my wife from the first moment that we have our first child we are the architects of these kids of that person's life my goal is to get good human beings out to the world so I care about the minute that they should not lie should not steal should not say do anything against another person don't talk bad about other people don't slander other people don't use other people but I want them to be successful in whatever they do whatever they want to do I'll support them you want to be a basketball player I'll support you you want to be a makeup artist I don't care I don't care what you want to be you need to find out what you need to be I'll support you what I care is that you never give up and you know what I all my life I was in two different types of sports I was very competitive in many different things I mean some things I was actually extremely very very very very good and the characteristic that I had I don't care how many times I'm gonna be given knocked down to the ground I'm never gonna give up I was the kid with attitude oh you wanted me now wait till the next match next match I'm gonna overpower you so the Shi Bonita is to first of all understand that I have in me the power and the desire to be successful and that's what a shame is trying to make me to make me successful successful by the way doesn't mean that you're billionaire or that you're number one artist in the world successful means that whatever you supposed to do you're doing it in the best way possible and a Shem gave you a certain talent we stopped spoke about it in the week of Gua you have strength a certain strength let him give you strength now be successful now how does the sham build you he makes you fail I trained for many years from the age of four used to trained in martial arts 20 years I trained in martial arts different martial arts I got to very high levels in martial arts my best trainer was it would beat me up all day long why I want to see how you get up not how you fight let's see how you get up let's see if you give up let's see if you are able to get another punch and another punch and another punch and still get up now I'm talking about it in a physical way but a sham is doing it to us in many different ways and he says let's see how many times you can be pulled push to the ground and still get out so the hazard of netzer is to have the love to I to arouse the love to win and in order for me to win I need to know what's the source of winning and again winning is being successful and successful I can be successful in my relationship I can be successful in my business I can be successful in my own spiritual growth some people go on a journey and they want to be spiritually enlightened they want to grow spiritually I need success here now sometimes a sham will give me successes in life business and so forth and sometimes things don't work out sometimes it looks like your luck is something wrong with your luck Chum the Shem is preparing you to the next battle so I have to understand I have to look at it in two ways first of all the head of of the the head of netzer is that I have to arouse the love in me to be victorious to be successful and to understand there's gonna be a lot of challenges on the way and I will fail many many times but nevertheless next time I'll be successful and next time and even if it takes me a hundred times we're counting here success not failures you can fail a hundred times one time you'll be successful that's what counts and it's not only another other people might relate with it was business I need to be successful in business you know when I became observant I had a lot of problems that I needed to deal with everybody has problems and not because something's wrong with you because the Shem gave you a sack of problems it says now work on them don't think for one thing there's something wrong with you definitely don't try to blame the world Oh my mother my father my teacher my neighbor everybody has problems and you are not doing well some people they create their own problems but you come down to the world with the sack of problems you know my famous joke I'm sure you heard it a few times I'll say to the ones who didn't hear it there was one man who was a very very nice man observant followed the Torah did everything it says in the book but he had the worst life everything in his life well went wrong never had money kids didn't talk to him his wife was mean sick all the time had the worst life in his 80s one time he goes and crosses the street the car hits Emily dies he goes up to the heaven waits there an angel named number tells him listen I want to talk to the boss I'm very unhappy with this whole arrangement I did everything it says in the Torah I did every little Mitzvah this is what I get I I want to talk to the boss okay they take him to God he walks in chantels and what he wants is this some very unhappy you gave me such a hard life I did everything you said in the Torah mainly if I would a wicked person I understand I said everything you said in the door I did with so there's shrimp sales in what do you want she's not one I want another chance I want to go down to the world I want you to give him know a good life assurance is OK I'll grant you wish but just that you know everybody has to go down to the world with some type of problems everybody has their problems so the man says to what are you suggesting a shrimp says do you know I'll grant you your wish I will send you back into the world and you get to choose this time your problems ok I like that God tells him go down in the corridor second door on the left knock on the door the angel that opens the door tell him I sent you he will guide you ok he goes down all happy got his wish he knocks on the door the angel opens the door yes how can I help you tells him well the boss God the creator of the world he sent me here okay what do you need he said that I can choose my own problem no problem he takes him in to this massive warehouse looks like a Home Depot you know full aisles very very high and the whole place is full of shelves and all the shelves are bags big sacks bags he tells the Angels what is all this he says this is all the problems of all the people in the world and every bag belongs to one person and he says okay now go choose your bag he's running up and down I'll a I'll be I'll see up and down climbing all the bags big bags bugs small bags wrong bags he's like I'm gonna be here I'm gonna find the smallest bag I can find he's running up and down the aisles finally his eye caught he sees like a little bag he climbs it puts his hand in between the two bags he pulls out a bag this big bag he's happy I guess what and what I'm gonna take he runs to the angel tells him this one the angel scans it no problem he goes back to a sham no you're happy everything's good you ready to go now is it there I'm ready to go did you choose a bag of problems of course I did can I see which one you chose he says there this one so she says oh that's the bag you have last time so we all have to come down to the world with a bag of problems then you can get away with it with these problems of course we're gonna have problems but nevertheless I need to know how to deal with these problems and sometimes my success is not making money when I came down to the world and other challenges I mean when I became observant I had to get rid of a lot of bad habits let's put it this way and for me to overcome one bad habit was a big thing but when I was able to do it that was for me success I can get rid of it I got rid of it what was the approach and that's the approach that I teach many others yeah you will lose a hundred times in this battle one time you won that's it mark on the board one victory some about how many times you lose it's how many times you succeed and how many times you lose is that you don't give up okay next time and I'm talking with myself my own spiritual growth is not about making money it's about how do I get rid of bad habits some people for them bad habits is smoking another person bad habits is drugs another person is gambling and everybody has bad habits you want to grow spiritually you have to get rid of these bad habits so for me success was if I can get rid of a bad habit so if I was able not to do this bad thing for one month and then I failed I didn't look at the failure I looked at I was able not to do it for 20 days success I was able to be successful and this is success I'm talking about it's not necessarily how much money you make Hashem will decide how much money you're gonna make the point to take from that is that we all have the drive to be successful and you want to be successful in the in the challenges that ashame gave you in building a relationship building a business being emotionally and a stronger whatever it is a chef will give you challenges you know in Hebrew the right word is it God and if we have two words used alone in the army the destination the yard what's my destination my destination is to quit smoking right that's my destination to be a nonsmoker not me Boko sham sham made a miracle for me I quit smoking 18 years go like that and you know what I'll tell you the story quickly sure you'll see exactly what I'm trying to say but this is a destination this is my challenge my guy how am i good going over this mountain so I have a tool in me to be successful and the hazard Shivan Itza is two to love this pool not to give up you know when I give up when I fail that's the complete opposite of Casa Bonita tester Jimenez sir he says no I lost this time next time I'll get it I'm not gonna give up so that now how is the key here what's the key to do that the key is to understand where the success is coming from if I think that I have control over the success I'll never be successful the next time and don't think for one thing is something wrong with you a shrimp probes and programs it in a way how many times you're gonna fail but when you remember the whole time that the success and the failure they come from a sham that's how you arouse the ability to next time I'm going to win because you know even when you failed that's what a shame on it now she wants to see the effort not the result whether you won or lost that has nothing to do with you how many effort you put that has to do with you and needless to say what I need to remember constantly the back of my mind is where the success is coming from and not to say I did it you didn't do nothing you made it maybe an effort the success came only from the kadosh go how did you make money behzod a shame how are you able to succeed hashem helped me so i'll tell you quickly the story with the with the quitting of the smoking and not the whole story because it's long but to see the the idea i was a very very heavy smoker for 15 years i would smoke three packs a day of red Mile broke like a chain chain smoker I don't know even know how I breathe but nevertheless to make a very long story short after my near-death experience I moved some machinery over to Chicago and I started changing my life and but one of the first things that I put on my agenda as I got to get rid of all the bad habits you can serve a shame I can't be a slave to a shame if I'm a slave to anything else and I had a switch in my mind that I I cannot have anything in this world control me if something in this world is controlling me I'll never be able to be a true over the shame slave to a shame and if a cup of coffee controls me a cigarette whatever it is I'll never be successful anyways don't to make a long story short I moved into Haley I I moved to a new home and like a good Jew you need to put misses out on the door okay so I said okay I'm all ready now show me who I am it's what I gotta get mrs. old okay I go to a store that sells miss resorts and I had a lot of money at the time I come in I tell them I mean the best missus what you have here the best but not like the cheap the best ones and I need nine mezuzot every door in the house usually people buy one this was out they put it on the first door on the main door okay now I wasn't I was made and barely observing there was literally when I moved to Chicago I came in I had long a short sleeve shirt and I had a big tattoo on my hand so that the tool was showing and they kept looking at my tattoo pulling my shirt down like this stop looking now out of respect for the place I put a yarmulke on you know you sometimes people they walk into a synagogue they walk into a Judaica store they put a yarmulke on I I call it the the glove box yarmulkes because they look like this you know because they're stuck in the glove box for like three months and then you put it on like these bar mitzva yarmulkes that the real identity right they don't really sit well on the head anyways so I had a glove box yarmulke I walk in anyways I buy my name is resort and then I drive back home now it was already Friday afternoon in my mind I was like you know it's I don't want to move into a house and riedel Shabbat and probably bad luck okay I call the landlord can I move in the wicked no problem okay motion so he tells me you need to bring the first month rent in a money order and the security deposit in the money order am I gonna get a money order now okay I'm driving on the highway I see a bigger sign Western Union ice to get off the exit to a very very unpleasant neighborhood in Chicago Chicago has some neighborhoods that you don't want to drive there by mistake nevertheless I go in there probably the first Jew that ever stepped foot in that place I'm standing there Friday afternoon and you know minding my own business and there's like maybe 200 people there Friday everybody coming to cash their checks okay and there's a guy in the back he's talking so loud and I turn around to see who's this guy is talking like that and the second that I turn around he screams to me Shalom Shalom he comes to me there's like six seven guy hugs me Shalom picks me up in the air I'm Jewish I'm also George I'm Jewish [Music] what are you talking about and he starts telling me my mother is Jewish I had a bar mitzvah my grandmother's joy she's like shut up I don't need to ask you history and in my mind I'm like how does he know Jewish I mean I know the nose is pretty big but how does he know that I'm Jewish and I forgot I had the yarmulke on my head I went out of the store totally forgot the yarmulke on my head anyway the guy's telling me his whole history where he had the Bar Mitzvah who his uncle did so in the conversation he tells me do you smoke so I pull out a box of cigarettes no do you want a cigarette he's like no he tells me you want to quit smoking well yeah I want to quit smoking so he tells me come tonight to this hotel you'll quit smoking now my worries were what is it about he's like ever heard of quitting to smoke through hypnotism so said I actually did it says okay come tonight so I told him and this is again this was Friday night I was like is this costing me money I don't want to do some business transaction on Shabbat and bear in mind I'm not religious at all this is a month than what happened to me but I'm in Chicago so he tells me give me $40 and come day okay that night they decided to walk to that place okay I walk and I'm not observing Shabbat nothing maybe 40 people in the room and doctor comes up gives a two-hour lecture what's going on to the body when you smoke shows slides and pictures and research and then the hypnotist comes on the stage hypnotizes us and he wakes us up and he tells everybody don't look at your watch how long do you think you were out everybody says five minutes six minutes I also thought it was like five six minutes we're looking at the clock an hour and 15 minutes long story short I walk out of this room and I never touched a cigarette since then 18 years I walked out of this room I went to like a coffee shop where the hotel where I was sitting there in the smoking area and a stigmatism and I had in my hand I don't even light it up I was such a heavy smoker I would go to sleep sit in my bed smoke three four cigarettes before I go to sleep then go to sleep I would wake up in the morning say mo dicks Ernie I would wake up with a cigarette in my mouth I woke up in the morning the cigarettes are in front nothing sorry sir I didn't want to tell anybody I was like this is not gonna last this is gonna like it'd be a day or two and my sister came to visit me right after that after a week this issues with me she was like why aren't you smoking or am I gonna quit she's like oh come on you I could have been believing myself few months later I went to visit a friend in New York he goes out with he's smoking in smoke he's like why don't you smoking I told him I quit is that you you quit anyways long story short this was success this was a hundred percent success of overpowering challenge that I had getting rid of a bad habit but from the first day up until today if you ask me how did you quit smoking Kalash bajo he made a miracle you know why you made a miracle that's how I saw it clearly because I went and bought the mezuzot it was such love I was like I knew I had to buy measles I know what most people do you know many people call me and tell me ask me if I can help him with a mezuzah how much do you want to pay give me the cheapest one $20 I was so excited to buy a mezuzah and I had a lot of money I gave a told him give me the most expensive miss resort the most fanciest miss resort and for every door even on my storage I wasn't even religious that wasn't barely observant I don't know my storage I'm putting him in Susa even when I had like a beautiful home with his arch even on the arch everything everywhere I could put him as I put him into that doubt no doubt I had such love and excitement to do this Mitzvah the best of my money effort excitement then when it came to the transaction I wasn't even sure about observing and everyone observe Shabbat in my life but I didn't do I didn't want to do a money transaction that night I walked that time to the another hotel I said I can't do much but I'll do a little effort but you know that effort has to come with love with authentic love to the Mitzvah and a shame made a miracle like that like an ATM I went in and I went out I never thought in my right mind that I'll ever be able to get rid of smoking I loved smoking it's not that I didn't love it I loved it I was the type of smoker that if you see me smoke you want to smoke too I would pleasure on the cigarettes I would blow rings I loved it I I even if the cigarette was not on me but I had a cigarette in my hand I loved the whole thing the secrets the lighter I was like I started smoking I was 12 years old so I was in my mind I was like I'm gonna die and they're gonna put on my tombstone box of cigarettes so and I got rid of it and and you know why because Hashem didn't and up until today somebody asked me how did you quit smoking Hashem made a miracle no but how did you do it with patches shame made a miracle I didn't mitzvot with a lot of love so ashamed gave me a reward the nets are there are the has such a bonanza you have to apply this love to the power that a Shem gave it to you to be successful did not create you a loser and if you are losing that's cause a Shem wants you to be build up you know how you become a winner only if you lose if you always a winner you never be you're not a winner you know you become a winner when you lose three four times I told you I was into martial arts at some point I got to such a high level then when I was a teenager I traveled around the world in tournaments and world tournaments when it before was before the army I lived a year and a half in Europe I trained there massively and I used to go like to to this world champion at tournaments and half of them I would lose but when I lost it made me train harder I'm gonna next time going into the rim next time I'm gonna win how do you become a winner when you lose so xem pushes you down sometimes so you can get up and say oh heat now me my you me exactly what we we don't show Matt get up from the dirt brush it off nothing happened big deal a little bit dirty move on so this is the power that I have enemy denitsa the Hestia germinates up as I have to develop this love how do you develop the love when you understand who gives you the success the success only comes from the kadosh below and on the other side the failure also comes from a shame if I failed you have to make an analogy if you were lazy if you didn't put any effort if you lied cheated and mistreated the situation okay of course you failed but if you put everything in your heart and you failed I did my part I did my effort I was honest I was truthful I put a lot of excitement and love and effort I still felt that's the hot Sun of the kadosh Mahal that's the will of Hashem so we have to be very careful that when I have a success not to take any credit this was a toss is cojiro SMED why I did it I made money I was successful I didn't do nothing kadosh before somebody not too long ago we had an issue as a certain individual and the person did also so not nice things and it all boiled down that the person was jealous and when I confronted person said what are you Jim what are you jealous you wear a beard you you call yourself a rabbi - and I notice what kind of a god-fearing individual you are that you jealous of somebody else's success you think I do something a sham does it I don't do anything else with me they angry - em you have an issue with me you have an issue with a sham with me if I'm doing something good Christian wants me to do that and a sham gives me that success I do my effort in fashion once I'll be this big what are you jealous of this is why jealous is one of the worst things ever why you jealous of somebody else you're basically saying I'm not agreeing with what Hashem does if somebody has a lot of money because Hashem wanted him to have a lot of money and you jealous of him because he's successful he's more popular or whatever I mean it's the most childish attribute you can think of what are you jealous of we're Shem chose him to be the one needless to say it's momager sin not to be jealous is one of the Ten Commandments lot enough not to commit adultery this is in other words don't be jealous that's something somebody else there's something better than you but nevertheless I have to be very careful not to do to the success should go up to my in Hebrew we say it share the success should go up to your head don't get a big head out of it I have to constantly remember the success is coming from the kailash mahal so what do we want to do to apply that we want to develop the desire the will to win and to be able to fulfill my desire to make a destinations and i'm getting to this destination even if i will fail hundred times i will reach this destination this destination i'm again I'm not talking about business business it's very important to do my destination I want to stop lying I wanna stop say Michonne ovah I want to make sure they're like three three times a day I want to learn one hour a day I want to finish a whole tracted I don't care you come you make your own destinations I want to overpower this bad attribute that I had that's a destination you put destinations and then you develop the desire to win to be successful but the key the key to the success is to constantly know that the success is only with the help of a sham Corbis out the shrimp how you gonna do it that's not a shame you're gonna wait beside a shame a shame is the one who's gonna get me to succeed and Hospital even if I fail that's the will the cannot go home of course if I was doing it the right way so we're having now a whole week of Metsa where we have the ability to win and to reach goals and this is a very important week because we have to put goals if you're not going to have goals how you're gonna get there if you don't have a destination one time I was driving not too long ago and somebody you next to me tell me why is the GPS not guiding us that's because I didn't put a destination in you know sometimes in the new cars the GPS is on the screen it shows you where you are you know what I'm talking about a lot of new cars there's a screen in the car and the GPS is on the person's memory why is the GPS not talking cuz they didn't punch in a destination I'm just right I don't want to get there just happens to be the GPS is on so if you don't punch in a destination don't expect anything to take you there so you have to put the destinations goals what is my goal my goal is to quit smoking my goal is to open the business my goal is to refine myself I want to stop cheating I want to stop lying I want to stop saying the Shannara I want to be more holy I want to be a better father a better husband whatever it is you have to have goals if you don't have goals you never do anything how do you succeed when you know Shem will help me get to this goal if that's the redzone of the garage below my goal is not to become the next billionaire it's not a goal this is a dream my goal is way to also understand what Hashem wants me to do put goals what a shame wants you to do a shamble take you there he will help you be succeed successful and he will assist you as long as you give him the credit and the calash book was the one who helps you and again like I told you when you fail the love for victory next time I'll do it and if not next time then the following time and if not the following time it will take me 500 times if I succeed one time before I die let's say that's what's important the other stream should have a very successful journey that all your goals should be fulfilled in the best way possible and you'll be able to count many successes and even the failures he also stank ashamed for the failure because the shame took you on a school on a learning curve how the next time know what not to do like I said before when do you succeed is when you know what mistakes not to repeat so obviously you have to make some mistakes when you have mistakes you can learn from your own mistakes and that's how you become successful just don't forget to give the credits at the end thank you god for all the success that I did and once you thank the kailash mahal you're able to to nourish this media of hessin Shaban it's a phrase to love the ability to be successful and victorious [Music]
