Failure or Investment? | Rabbi Yossi Bensoussan

Every time we fall, we realize where our boundaries are, and now know where we need to work on ourselves more. Don't look at it as a failure, but rather a worthy investment. Learn more about Vayimaen and join our WhatsApp group here: https://www.vayimaen.org/ #vayimaen #shmiraseinayim #failure

Shalom, Vayimaen!
What an unbelievable movement
we have going over here.
Such an unreal momentum.
I know how much Chizuk I get from it.
So incredible.
I would love to point out
one point of Shemiras Ha’einayim,
that I think gets so overlooked
all too often.
And that is the obsessive
concept of not falling,
of not messing up,
of never tripping.
What we don't realize is
is every time that we veer
from a path that we were on,
it's not just by chance,
it's not a mess up,
it is a sign.
It’s a sign of where we need
to build another wall,
of where we need
to protect ourselves better.
There’s a famous story
of a vice president in a company,
who made a $1 million mistake on a deal.
He lost the company $1 million.
And he came in to the CEO of the company
and he tendered his resignation.
He handed in
his resignation and said:
I know, I know I'm getting fired.
I know I messed up and there's
no turning back from this one.
So here you go.
Here's my resignation.
Listen to what the CEO said to him.
He tore up the resignation
and threw it back at him.
And he said: I just spent
$1 million educating you.
I just spent $1 million investing in you.
You're never going
to make that mistake again.
You think I'm going to let you
go down the block to my competition
and start working for them?
No way.
I invested in you.
You're going to work for me.
The beauty of the reality of it,
the beauty of the truth of it,
is that no matter what happens,
as long as we embark,
as long as we just start the process
of trying to be Shomer Einayim,
no matter what happens,
we're always able to look
at every single bump,
at every single part of the road
that we didn't do well on and say:
That's where I need to work.
But if we do it
a little bit at a time,
if we work on
every one of those mistakes
a little bit at a time,
then we're able
to finally create the idea
of true Shemiras Einayim,
of truly clean eyes.
