Look at Your Diamonds | Rabbi Zev Smith

[Music] imagine you wake up in the morning and there's a voicemail waiting for you and you listen and you can't believe it kki wishing you a good morning telling you how proud he is of what you're doing how good you would feel about that the gor says that abna was a doctor that every day he got regards from M the a Sublime voicemail Abaya only got that regards once a week we why because AB did something that AB didn't do he was a doctor and he treated female patients but he maintained the highest level ofas in his practice there's a powerful message a person that's faced with constant nus and doesn't get used to it he maintains the highest level of kadha that's something very special in shamay we live in a world that even if you're not a doctor we are faced with an incessant bombardment that challenge our kadus wherever we go they're anus whether it's when we walking in the street when we're traveling when we're flying at work even at home and even the Abaya in our times has this opportunity to achieve greatness if he keeps his sensitivities and doesn't just say well let it be what will be RAF hutna once said that a young boy that's sent to the Corner Grocery walking to the grocery he's is exposed to more challenges than his grandparents were exposed to living in theel and we have to realize that that's our mission in life to learn and to dive in we have to appreciate the beauty of to mitz and for that we need sparkling eyes that we maintain that kadha and we have to feel good Every Time We rise to the occasion and do what's right the stories told of a person a diamond Merchant that he had to travel to the big ID the big fear to buy diamonds to make a living and he put together all his money and he came to the ID and he saw the most beautiful Diamond but the going price was more than he even owned but at the end of the rid he noticed it was still for sale so he approached the merchant and says I'll give you my last penny but let me buy it and he asked how much do you have he told him the amount no it's not enough do you have any more money on you he asked him he goes yeah but I have money but that's for cof here I have to get home how much do you have of Cofe and he told him the mount he goes we put the two and two together I will sell it to you but nothing less than that full amount and he was agonizing I can't give up this offer but how am I going to get home but it was an offer that was irresistible and he took out his every last scent and he bought the diamond and he had to walk home this in the olden days before transportation and when he finally arrived at his home Weeks Later famished worn out his family asked him how'd you do it you traveled so many weeks said it wasn't easy but I sto occasionally I looked at my diamond and that kept me going we're living in a dark Gus that's an incessant bombardment on our most important asset our kadha we have to stop from time to time and look at those diamonds that we're generating that only Our Generation could generate and those diamonds are lighting up the world around us [Music]
