It’s All About Your Perspective - Rabbi Ori Strum

So I was driving the other day and I looked over [music] at a field that I was passing by. At first glance, it looked like chaos. Nothing made sense. The rows looked crooked, messy, random. [music] But then literally a few seconds later, my angle changed and suddenly everything was aligned. [music] You see, the field didn't change. My perspective did. And I started thinking, that's [music] life. Sometimes we look at the world and all that we see is confusion, stress, [music] delays, pain, suffering, questions, things that seem unfair, out [music] of control. But maybe we're just looking from the wrong angle. David Hamel says, [music] "Shiviti Hashem l'negdi samid." I place Hashem before me always. Because when a person starts [music] to align himself with Hashem, he sees the world in alignment. Not that he suddenly understands everything. Not that all his questions become answered. [music] But deep down he knows there's a plan. There's a purpose. There's a say there. [music] What looked like chaos is really just rows that we can't fully see. But remember, Hashem is running the show. And sometimes the biggest change in life is just changing your perspective.
