Nothing comes easy - But there is a reason why life can be hard...

[Music] I just so showed you an era of T of sages huge giants I just showed you and and that's what you're impressed from Mo says yes because to be a a good individual when you have bet mikdash and you see the with your eyes it's not a big deal to be able to be an observant Jew when you have a prophet in front of you that's not a big deal but when you don't see anything no bet mikdash no Godly Revelation no prophets no nothing and you still serve hasem with all your heart that deserves credit M says that's the generation that I have the highest respect to because they don't see any type of Godly Revelation and they wake up at 4:00 in the morning to go to the freezing cold mik and they pray sh and learn T and say after eating and observe Shabbat and doing all these things without seeing any Godly Revelation that's the generation that will receive mashiach because they're doing it with all their heart the realuna so the par comes to give me a very solid message that yes AEM is going to be hidden from us till mhia is going to come and there's going to be a lot of challenges and there's going going to be a lot of doubts in my belief and a lot of doubts in what I do and everybody's going to come and laugh at me and put me in in in a in a corner like saying you're out of your mind and constantly is going to be this battle am I doing the right thing is it normal to go cuckoo 5 minutes before Shabbat like a chicken without a head and when 99% people in the world are cooking their meal quietly and who cares if it's 5:00 now it's 6:00 so the meal will be ready at 6:0 hi big deal and here I am like a chicken without a head oh my God I have three minutes post a chicken in the oven and if you would make some some some show on what happens in Jewish kitchens half an hour before Shabbat this will be the top rating in the world people will be like these people are are lunatics are insane and we're still counting to the minut do I have time I have time no it's past a minute okay I can't take a shower anymore people would look at us from the outside this nation is a nuts we are we're not we're crazy we're crazy but we're crazy about Hashem we're crazy about hem and we're crazy about the Torah and that's what the Torah comes to teach me in this Paras you you're not crazy you are totally normal and yes there will be a lot of tests and a lot of challenges and what you're doing is going to look completely ridiculous to you but you know what that's part of the game and Hashem is waiting he's looking he's hiding himself a purpose let's see if you find me there's an excitement here for hasem I want you to to find me I want you to work hard you think you're going to get something from working for free no work hard you know when I when I grew up my father was was very D did very well and a lot of money but he always made me work all my friends I lived in a in upscale neighborhood everybody got their cars and motor bikes my father said you're going to work I'm not giving you anything which at the time I thought he's the worst father but now I look back and I was like he's the best father because I'm looking at all these people who grew up with me they all are they don't know how to function in the world they're depending on a check coming every month from a father and I'm one of the only ones from the crowd that no my father told me I was 11 he wants something don't work I worked you work I used to paint fences take things garbage out I would clean car yeah this world is about working it's not about receiving checks once a month go and deal with the world work hard Shem says I want you to work I want you to become B I want you to quetch into your juice is going to come out of you and you know what when you have a challenge this is not a failure this is what Society will tell you if you failed you are a failure if you failed means that you just fell down so you can rise higher we call it a going down in order to rise up the easiest word to to put it is to catch momentum you want to jump over a fence you have to go back can't jump over the fence you go 100 meters back so you can run run run run and jump over the fence so Hashem says I'll help you I'll push you on the floor now you get up very simple just get up we should internalize this message that Hashem has something in stall for us hasem is has a plan for us not to get discouraged so fast not to get so not to give up so fast when there's a challenge and to understand that this this separation from Hashem this unclarity is how Hashem is expressing I want you to be close to me work hard and you'll rise to a higher level and another level and another level and don't think that you're stopping you reach to one level come come the next challenge will push you again till the day that you leave this world or the day that mashiah comes people think that maybe when you retire when you're 65 62 68 whatever it is depending on the country that you that that's the same thing when you're serving AEM no you never retire with AEM you're 90 years old you're still growing and believe it or not people in their 80s they have challenges and ups and downs but we should take from that the lesson that this challenges and this ups and downs is only for our benefit it's only to become closer to hem and needless to say that when we apply that that's how we survived as a nation because we're holding on to the kadosh and saying nothing's going to move me from hasem we should learn from that also to look at other people and in their failure and not to judge other people it's very easy to look at another person and say ah look he's a failure no he's not he's going through his challenges and when I judge another person then I'm bringing on myself triple of his challenges I have to look at any other parent says okay I also have challenges I also fail here and there and sometimes I fail a lot the point to take from that is that it's never too late there's always place to do cha and now we're standing in a very supicious month to do chuva in the month of Adar where hasem accepts the chuva very very easily and a few days from now we're celebrating puin this is a very spicious time to do cha to a point that I can transform everything when everything can be transformed from bad to good the point to take from that is that we have to do one last quetch here and and then the thing that we most don't believe in that mssiah is coming will actually become a reality we spoke about it yesterday in Shabbat most people don't believe Messiah is coming they say they do but they don't believe very few people believe really believe he coming and they're prepared so we have to do the last quitch the last effort so we can see the ultimate concealment come as a revelation and then needless to say what a reward are we going to what are we we're going to receive what a high level of spiritual Revelation we're going to encounter very soon with the coming of mashia andem should Merit to see it very soon with their own eyes should they have a beautiful rest of the week happy porm and may our life will be full of laughter and happiness [Music]
