Why Jews Do The Right Thing Even When It’s Not Popular! Rabbi Eli Karmel

we all care about what other people think of us which sometimes could be a very good thing the problem is that many times we tend to hold back from doing what we think is right because we are worried about what other people will think of us and so you probably wish that there was a way for you to just not care about what anyone else thinks of you so that you can always just do whatever you really think is right and in order to get there you need to first stop and think why is it that we care about what other people think of us and you'll probably find that the reason we care about what other people think of us is because we assume that what other people think of us will make a difference to us for example if somebody thinks highly of me then they're more likely to offer me a job or want to do business with me or want to be friends with me or want me to marry into their family whatever it is that we want out of life we think that making a good impression on others will help us get there and so the only way for you to really not care about what anyone else thinks of you is for you to realize that the opportunities that we are given in life never come by coincidence because we happen to make a good impression on someone the only way opportunities come our way is if our creator decides they should and really he's the one who puts it into people's heads to decide to offer you opportunities in the first place and so if you want to really start getting more opportunities in life then the only one that you should be concerned about making a good impression to is your creator [Music]
