Be All You Can Be - Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser

we learned something fascinating in the Talmud it tells us that the great angel misael can span the entire world in a single leap the great angel Gabriel can span the entire world in two leaps Eliana V Elijah the Prophet can span the entire world in four leaps the great prophets came asked the question what do we learn from this seemingly esoteric piece of information that the Talmud offers and he says the following if the great malla the great angel miss IL could spend the entire world in one but he does it in two he is not living up to his potential if the great angel Gabriel spans the world in three when he could have done it in two leaps he also is not living up to his potential and if alien AVI the great prophet Elijah spends the entire world in five and he could have done it in four leaps he's not living up this potential we have been given explosive potential each one of us has an ishshah' muguara a very high soul that was breathed in by hashem by god we have the potential that we can accomplish in this world that we can strive for greatness we can shoot for the stars we as Claudius Rell's of people can do great things however we've got to use the potential that God has given us I was invited to a convention a convention of young people where special children were also invited to attend and participate there was a session of singing and dancing and I joined in the crowd and I began to dance and to sing together with all the others well there was a special child of about 10 years old and the boy held my hand tightly and we had danced around in the circle together all of a sudden I saw that boy looking up at me and his mouth was moving and he says to me Rebbe I don't know the words but I'm singing it shook me it shook me to the very core we all know the words but how many of us are really singing God gave to each and every one of us tremendous potential it is up to us [Music] [Applause]
