Prayer Insight 9

we've been speaking about the idea that Hashem is love for us is both internal infinite and unconditional and at the same time that's not so easy always to realize to internalize what are the greatest tools to internalize that if just to be happy easier said than done but Judaism has a definition for happiness let me explain you see if I came to you and said you my friend you know I want to offer you a million dollars for your eyes you know how about it you say no thank you very much I think I'll keep my eyes how about ten million how about a billion say rabbi very kind but my eyes are worth more to me than any money how about your ears your hands your legs your your your stomach your heart your spleen say no not for sale worth more than any money but if I came to you and I said listen you know I really like you and I want to give you a gift I just you've got an inheritance and here's a million dollars just for you you count it up or it's a million dollars you walk off with him how do you feel you know how you feel you feel like a million dollars you do it jig down the street but what about your eyes your eyes are worth more than any money so how do you feel the fact you have eyes saying there's a real person before I yeah you made me aware of why should be all the more so doing a you know why we've got used to our eyes the definition of happiness is that pleasure a person feels when they appreciate what they have what's definition of misery yeah it's the feeling that you feel when you focus on what you don't have and what went wrong today that's how to be miserable we have to realize that we are walking multi-billionaires even if we don't have a penny to our names because we had that and the eyes and the ears and the legs of the big walking multi-billionaires what's the problem we can't use to it so what do we have to do right we have to exercise that muscle of appreciating what we have and that's why in Judaism you wake up in the morning you say thank God I'm alive and you say a hundred blessings a day to appreciate all the gifts that you have right if you appreciate that that you're walking multi-billionaire even if you don't have a penny to your name yeah you're do to digs down the street and not only that you're appreciate the tremendous love that a Shem has for us that he gave us everything that we have
