Part 88: If you Don’t Turn in the Ticket, You Can’t Collect the Winnings

good morning BTO want to thank our sponsors for this morning's Amun in memory of their beloved daughter Miriam estm in memory of her beloved commemoration of her fifth year should have both should have an Aliyah okay we are still working on this piece by RI in the second the second volume of Al sh and his essay here on so we finished the first half we're at the aster on page everyone see where we are those who have a paper there's more available here the first half has developed the notion of the value of the idea of going directly from meditating reflecting on hashem's hand in our history to then beginning to make requests of him for our destiny that our Fila is empty they're empty words they're hot air if they're not informed and inspired by a found belief and faith that Hashem is actually capable and that he's listening and that he cares and that he acts if we're just reading a script if we're just getting through the words reading a template it's not meaningful so therefore by being based on developed the idea that is I see in a very real way a student of History I see that hashem's hand was guiding history nothing was fluke nothing was random nothing was chance it was all A's hand and so too when I make requests of Hashem now for what I need in the present just like he responded in the past so to I have faith and trust and belief that he will respond in the present and in the future and Reva developed the idea that the gym for amuna is the sitter you work out your muscles with weights and you work out your amuna with davening that's the place we work at our amuna is with is with davening the um I heard this p shabas ba Marcus of rid quoted of cook who said that very interesting he said you know if you want to know how your finances are you go to a financial adviser you go to an accountant and they look at your numbers they look at your books and they could tell you how financially stable you are if you want to know how your health is you go to a doctor they take some blood and they do an exam and they tell you how your health is in every area of life there's an expert you can go to the tests and Laboratories that can be done and you can get the results to tell you how well you're doing how how do you know how well you're doing spiritually how well how do you know how well you're doing in amuna so he said Rook apparently says you open the sitter and you DAV doing is the barometer doing is the thermometer that tells you how well you're doing spiritually if the doing is Flowing if it comes if you walk away a changed person then when you came in if you have a sense of faith if you feel connected to the prayers that you're saying if you believe there's someone on the other end listening all of that tells you that you're spiritual your is healthy it's doing well f is the barometer for our Nish you go to the financial adviser you go to the doctor you go to the expert in every area so the sitter is the expert in telling us how we are doing so R talked about that's the gym that's where we work out the amuna muscle so that it can grow so that when we need it when you need to engage those muscles you don't want to tear a muscle I told you the story about the guy who survived the heart attack because of the kak minion he had been working out so he could keep up with the kak minion in our Sho and because had been working out he was well enough so if you first wait to work out when you're going to have the catastrophic event the crisis you may not survive it but if you've been working out in advance of it when the crisis strikes you're ready for it it's true about a healthy marriage it's true about your physical health and it's true about your spiritual health if you wait to grab the sitter to learn how to Davin when you're in the Foxhole where there's no atheists you wait till there's a crisis and you're going to grab the sitter and you think you're going to doin then but you don't know how to doin and I don't mean you don't know how to say the words I mean you don't know how to open up your heart you don't how to reflect and meditate you don't know what his bodus is you don't know what it means to talk to hashm like he's your best friend if you wait to develop those skills if you wait to work out those muscles till you need them it could be too late and that's why it's important to keep them sharp even beforehand R we lastly concluded with b and planting and building the idea of the building is strong it has a strong Foundation it has structure it's rigid whereas planting can grow wild but it has creativity and it blossoms and it develops and the need of the balance between the two he talks about the particular in the area of Education of our children but it's true in the area of our amuna it needs to have a strong Foundation it needs to have boundaries it needs to have structure but it also needs to be allowed to Blossom and to and to grow okay that leads us all up to today the second approach to how do we build B you have to build it doesn't just happen people want a she such faith I wish I had that Faith well do you work on that Faith the people who have faith weren't born with that Faith many or most of them work on it takes a lot of effort when they're in that moment of anxiousness of Envy of Anger of of worry of uncertainty to stop and to have the discipline and the self-control and the focus say no I believe I'm taking a leap I'm not worried there's a reason things will work out who when Yakov hears not this para but we're getting there when Yakov hears that asov is coming to attack him he doesn't he's having a reunion with asov and he fears as is going to attack him yob prepares himself in three wayson he sends a gift he davens and he guards himself for war right this is what we do in modern times diplomacy prayer and getting ready for war it's what's going on our brothers and sisters in the south of Israel so the diplomacy has yielded a supposed ceasefire we'll see how long it lasts but believe me they're also preparing for war and they and we are also doming these are the three things when we anticipate a conflict a confrontation the three ways we react we engage in diplomacy try to resolve it that way we're prepared for war and we definitely have to pray so yobu um exerts effort takes initiative in order to succeed in every way he can so he makes sure that he's got weapons and a well-trained army and an excellent strategy he's prepared he's not satisfied with the natural initiative the diplomacy the gifts he sent so prepares himself with the Perfect Blend which by the way where did he learned to do probably our para when he has the dream about the latter connecting Heaven and Earth he realizes that the mission of Our Lives is to be that ladder that bridge to connect Heaven and Earth you can't exist too much in the heavens nor can you be too firmly planted on Earth that our mission is to find the balance the blend between the two to be firmly planted on Earth to live in the physical world and at the same time to have our head in the clouds so to say to also have access and to have experience of being in the heavens so yob understands they have to live life with that blend with that ladder with that bridge between the two and he prepares for his confrontation with asov with those two so he gets Ready for War he prepares shuttle diplomacy he's got gifts that he's going to send but at the same time he doesn't he doesn't neglect preparing spiritually through prayer when's Sons prepare the second time to go down to Egypt in order to get provisions and in order to save their brother so so when sends them back the second time he says bring gifts write a nice thank you note get ready to what you're going to say when you have an audience with the vice Roy of egpt but also mayem bless you so you'll be all ready you have everything you need only thing you're missing is f and I'm doing for you so you see twice that Yakov when he's ready to confront a challenge in his life which jakov had no shortage of he prepares both in the natural means in the natural way he does what's necessary and he also finds the balance he doesn't forget to pray gamar says this very explicitly what do you do if you want to become rich you work hard you go to a good school you get a good degree you get a good job you work hard and you dive into the person who gives money what do you do when you want a good sh if you want a baby you produce a nice resume you hire a nice sh you go on Lovely dates you find the right person and don't forget to dve into the one who makes the Z what do you do when you want good health you go to the doctor you go to the gym the says explicitly that there's the balance many people fail in One Direction they take too much initiative and have no faith they think it's all entirely up to them they take the credit when it goes right and they blame natural circumstances when it goes wrong and they see everything having to do with human initiative the Physical Realm and they don't see God as having any role and other people fail in the opposite direction everything's up to God I don't have to try hard I don't have to work I don't to have ambition I don't have to take responsibility I don't have to be accountable because it's all up to Hashem everything's up to Hashem our D the proper D is the one that's right in between the balanced the Ram's golden mean it's to find that balance we take the initiative as if it's all up to us but we put our trust in hem as if it's all up to him so you're sick you do what you need to do to get better and you go to the doctor you want to ear a livelihood you have ambition and drive to work hard but you believe that Hashem is the one who gives us whatever we need and whatever we deserve y's methodology's path is to join nature with above nature you can't succeed in the Physical Realm without doing prayer is the window the key that opens the door has storehouses and storehouses and storehouses filled with BR for us and he wants to give it to us but we've got to turn the lock and open the door we have to open it in order to get that flow is a flow in order to initiate that flow of blessing in our lives we have to turn the key and how do we turn the key how do we turn the key prayer talking to him asking him expressing gratitude to him that's how we turn the key so through this about yov we learn an additional method about how to grow this is so the man of Alexandria Egypt asked three questions and here's two of them this is what I was mentioning what does a person do to become wise I want to be smart I want to be wise I want to have Insight I want to work on my memory what do I need to do says sit and read and learn and study and stop being involved in all the Haw stop running around don't be so social don't be on social media don't watch on Netflix don't be running around with business all day y if you want to be wise they've not yet invented a chip that you could download to your brain you're not going to just be able to overnight You Know download um sound terabytes of information into your head if you want you want to you want to be a then you got to sit you got to read you got to learn you got to study so so the of Alexandria challenged and they said what are you talking about you've got study halls and study halls but they Med and libraries filled with people who sit and read and study all day long and they're not wise they're not particularly insightful they're not particularly brilliant they don't particularly have wisdom so your suggestion doesn't work so he said no so he answered no no because all they did was sit and read and study and learn they forgot to do the other missing ingredient which is to ask to ask for compassion from the one who owns wisdom you could do all the Tak all the right initiatives do everything right but in the end it's up to hasem to give so so why they say learn sit and learn in Yeshiva why just skip that if Hashem is the one who has stor houses of wisdom and if you ask him he could Grant it so why do I have to sit and study and read why can't I skip that part and go directly to the yaku ask from the one who has it so say Hashem I really like playing sports and I really like running around and I really like doing business and I really like engaging socially and I don't really like sitting and learning or I don't really have time or I don't really want to but can you make me a anyway you can do anything Hashem you're all powerful you have everything all capable so why can't I skip that step and just go to the so the answers tells these men of alexand you know why because one without the other doesn't work it doesn't work one without the other doesn't work you need to do them in tandem you need to do them in parallel you need to do them in Partnership we have to do our initiative but our initiative is not enough we have to ask Hashem but asking Hashem while sitting passively on the couch is not enough it's the combination of the two they also asked him the man of Alexandria what can a person do to become wealthy I want to be wealthy so he said so do a lot of work negotiate get out there in business Network kill it and also do your business B Faithfully says everyone who's trying hard in business to make a dollar everybody's trying hard to kill it everyone wants to be wealthy so how could your answer just be go to work I want to be wealthy what should I do I saw in the news the billion dollar lottery ticket winner still hasn't uh turned it in figuring out what do yeah so he's running out of time though whoever it is he or she apparently N I saw they're running out of time so what should we do the gamor says that men of Alexandria askua Kan I want to be wealthy and he says so work hard he said work hard you know how many people have tried to work hard and they're not making a lot of money you how many people go to work and kill it kill themselves and they don't kill it so he says oh yeah yeah one other thing don't forget to Davin and ask Hashem for heal help in killing itan why do I have to then go to work if Hashem is the one who can make me a billion dollar lottery winner why can't I skip the work just buy the lottery ticket and become the billionaire says the because it doesn't work if all you do is go to work a lot of people have tried that haven't become wealthy if all you do is passively sit at home and Dav you're not going to become wealthy it's an amazing amazing idea so maybe he'll say when it comes to money it's so mundane it's so profane that you have to take your initiative you know and I'm sorry that you have to DAV in for it because you need to imbue it you need to inject it with some spirituality you have to DAV but Total Learning to become a I'm sitting and learning isn't that what Hashem wants I have to DAV for it isn't it obvious that if I'm sitting and getting through the and I'm breaking my teeth over my learning and I'm trying to become wise isn't that enough evidence to on top of that I have to DAV it's enormous the G yeah you have to DAV you're struggling to get through the toos you're struggling to remember what the Rabbi says at the Amun in a given week by the next week you forgot what he said the week before you can't remember anything that you're learning so it's not enough to be learning it's not enough to be working on the learning you got to dve into Hashem may I remember the learning may I have Insight from the learning can I break through and comprehend the learning may I res may I retain the learning it's not enough to be learning hashem's Torah even in a religious activity even a religious activity needs die you know what sometimes you need to DAV for DAV to hasem that you're able to DAV to hasem one of the holiest FAS is to DAV to hasem to be able to DAV to hasem we all do it I think I mentioned it a few weeks ago we do it maybe without realizing we do it every time we DAV we DAV that we be able to DAV before I start my conversation with you before I remind myself how great you are with three bras and then 13 things I have to ask of you and then three ways I want to say thank you to you but before I do any of that I'm worried I got a lot of my mind I got a lot to do there are a lot of distractions I'm pretty exhausted and spent and tired and wasted so I'm very worried that I'm going to stand here and try to talk to you and it's exercise and futility I'm going to walk out no different than the way I walked in and I'm not going to be present and I'm not going to be connected and I'm not going to be focused and I'm not going to be enthusiastic I'm worried I got a lot to do and I'm passing out so what do I do before i d i DAV that I have a successful daving open my lips let my mouth speak your Praises so who's the author of those words I mentioned this a few weeks ago appro to forgetting everything I say so says reflecting the episode with B when he says I've Sinn to you God we won't get into the episode with B but d himself makes a confession I've sin admission I've sin to you Hashem and now he's worried Hashem is going to have no interest in hearing from him have you ever disappointed someone so badly you hurt somebody so deeply that you don't even know how to begin the conversation or you're just in such a fight that you're just avoiding each other because no one knows what to say to get it started you don't know how to begin to talk in order to resolve the conflict so hm I I want to reconnect with you I don't even know what to say put the words in my mouth give me the right words to say to get this conversation started so that we can feel close once again so we use his words when we have that same feeling and when do we have that same feeling once a year once a decade once a month three times a day because in between each amida we disappoint hm we neglect Hashem we forget Hashem we do it our way instead of his way we do what we want instead of what he wants so how do we come back the next time shakas I had big plans for the day o the sun is high in the sky the day is filled with promise this is going to be my day by I've blown it so how do I come back to hem had such big plans five minutes later by Mar I've already blown it so so even our requires you know what else requires sometimes it's very it sounds paradoxical why would you DAV if you're not if you're struggling with believing there's a God does it make sense to talk to that God it's paradoxical it's it's really illogical and yet it's magical and it works one of the great ways to break out of an amuna struggle an amuna rut is to dive into Hashem to have amuna it's kind of the entire thesis is that don't wait to be inspired and then act act and you'll be inspired as a Yiddish expression which I don't know how to tell you in the yish that with the eating comes the appetite with the eating comes the appetite I'm on a in the middle of a 7-Day eating whatever so after binge so after each meal you say you know what I'm done next one I'm going to nibble I'm going to sit out I'm going to sit on the sidelines I'm done every every PES you ever been to a Pak program you swear on a safer Torah I'll never eat again the rest of my life when they have to wheel you in a in a wheelbarrow out of the meal and I'll never ever eat again and by the next meal just a little taste a little taste just I'd be remiss if I didn't give a little taste and with the eating comes the appetite she thought you know what so someone says I'm not eating no problem no problem don't eat just taste this you taste it with the eating in life it's a great yish expression with the eating comes the appetite it applies within all area of our pleasure centers that even when you think you're not in the mood with the eating comes the appetite don't wait for the appetite and then you'll eat start eating and the appetite will come so the same is true so says that's true with all mitzvas do the Mitzvah and the inspiration will come don't wait to be inspired and then do the Mitzvah so the same is true with Amun how do I get Amun because I speak about when I say please God and thank God and with God's help not just as Expressions but when I use when I when I feel when I talk about auna why do I have auna maybe I wasn't feeling it when I said please God thank god with God's help but when I said those things I thought about it and because I spoke about it it yielded the result was I felt amuna so start eating start living with amuna and then you'll see Hashem everywhere you look you see Hashem everywhere you look don't wait to be inspired don't wait for the appetite for Faith and then you'll have faith live with faith and you'll have an appetite for more faith live with Hashem and you'll see him everywhere so even to be even for the to acquire which again is a spiritual you think I don't need to DAV that in itself goofa spiritual the answer is no DAV Fe your daving DAV for your Torah learning DAV for everything he says do you know how many great do you know how many great Scholars and righteous people we don't have that we could have had if only all those who are spending so much time learning would also doen for their learning sometimes they're so engaged in the doing that the neg the learning they're neglecting the daving but one doesn't work without the other the two go hand in hand it's it's really Revol is kind of bemoaning a tragedy of people who are externally living the Motions of a root observant Judaism we're doing Mitzvah on the outside we're learning Torah on the outside we're going through the checklist of everything to be doing on the outside but if it's not molding and shaping and refining and cultivating a more faithful person then it's not working it's all there to turn us into people of faith of and to achieve a sense of I shared with you that there's not 613 mitz there's really one Mitzvah of clinging to Hashem and there's 613 opportunities the Mitzvah are invitations and opportunities to cling to Hashem but at its core the essence the essential goal isas is to cling to hem so if I sit and I learn I'm sitting and I'm sing over learning but I'm not connecting that learning to feeling closer to Hashem the learning is not about what hashem's vision is for his world two people walk in they're both holding a garment one says the whole thing belongs to me the other one says the whole thing belongs to me to me so what's the who owns it it's a beginning of the so who owns it so if I don't sometime in that process of analyzing and dissecting that sugya if I don't say what we're trying to explore and arrive at is how does God see ownership and how does God see fairness and what does God think is the Equitable thing to do here because all it's all about how do I get closer to God by tapping into his vision for a perfect world if I'm just learning it as a intellectual gymnastics and I'm not in the end connecting to Hashem I'm lighting the manur because light is nice and it dispels darkness and it's a to be able to get gifts and give out gifts and eat jelly donuts without feeling guilty but KHAK is not about seeing Hashem in that light it's not about seeing even the natural as Supernatural it's not about seeing the using the light to see the blessings and the Miracles all around me then what have I accomplished by going through the RO the motions and the road of lighting them in is boning that even when you're engaged in spirituality like learning Torah during MIT but you're not daving for them so I like the but I'm not tapped into the of to the magic to the spirituality of then what am I doing so it's amazing you could have people who come to sh and kavod already they're getting up early they're coming to Sho every morning they're engaged in daving but the daving he describes it it's dry it's a dehydrated davening it's dry it's absent any energy any enthusiasm any presence so the person's atual but they came a few minutes late and they left a few minutes early and they had a few conversations in the middle and between the conversations they check their text messages and yeah at some point they check off you know flew through the words of the sitter but they never ever had a real conversation with Hashem about the day ahead or needing his head help or gratitude for what what success they had yesterday they ran out after an abbreviated abrupt davening that's dry that person is robbing themselves of Divine Providence and intervention who knows so what happens the lawyer has scheduled to appear in court that afternoon the doctor is going to do surgery that afternoon the businessman is negotiating a deal that afternoon whatever the area of a person's profession so they spent days or weeks or months preparing for the trial or for the surgery or preparing to make this cut this deal they prepared for months they were up all hours of the night and they even came to sh the day that they had to walk in but the daving was dry and empty and root and lacking so the key ingredient to success they left out with all the preparation and with all the effort and all the initiative and revola says you think God needs your feeling God doesn't need to hear you but you deprived yourself imagine there was an expert lawyer imagine you had access to the top Harvard lawyer of all time you could sit with the Supreme Court Justice and say I got a big trial tomorrow can you give me some advice and you neglected that chance you're surgeon you had the opportunity to get the M the expert in the field to give you advice what to do with this complicated surgery a businessman Warren Buffett could could advise you on what the best way to cut that deal is and what to invest in you had the greatest chance and you neglected it with all your prep and all your effort and everything you did but you neglected the number one thing that could have led to your success you didn't punish Warren Buffett you didn't punish the Supreme Court Justice you didn't punish the Doctor Who you didn't consult with who did you punish yourself says revola the same thing when we fly through a daving it's dry it's empty it's lacking it's rot with all the other prep we did for success and everything we're about to do if you don't ask for help then you deprived yourself by not focusing and by not being and by not being patient and present and mindful I tried every time I have to give a big speech on my way in I have a little F I have a little conversation always with hem put the right words in my mouth help me am I'm trying to Simply inspire people to draw close to you and to achieve your mission for the world I need your help I need your help because I know you're only as good as your last speech and who says the next speech you give it's true believe me I live with that I won't say anxiety because I don't get anxiety from it but I live with the acknowledgement that as easy as a speech flowed last time you could be searching for the words or stumbling on the words or or forgetting what you're about to say or lose your voice or a million things could go wrong we can never take for granted that what we have will always have and nor can we put in all the efforts you spend hours writing a speech and researching and and reviewing drafts of it you're ready to give it but you forgot to say on the way in I need you how many people spent hours and wrote many drafts and consulted and worked hard and practiced and memorized and fell flat on their face so whatever area of Life the key ingredient this is this is the key thing going into that business going into everything going into everything from the mundane putting all the ingredients into the potato coule but make the potato CLE make my rise exactly make the CH not too watery not too dry make the whatever everything is Hashem somebody came to me recently a young person was very inspired by the question itself but a young person came and asked me you know Rabbi I've several people have asked this recently so much going on in the world people in our community who are terribly ill people who have had tragic CC circumstances there's 400 Rockets fired in one day to Israel my brothers and sisters still sit under the threat of Rocket fire so I'm going to ask Hashem for my little insignificant Petty nothing stupid thing Hashem helped me win my soccer game at school help me get in with the cool kids help me do all my test or if you you know raise that a level to us Hashem help me get in with the cool women and Sh Hashem help me you know whatever the parallel is in our lives help me afford that expensive PA shoes I'm desperate for Hashem help my no more significant things help my marriage or help me get help my son or daughter get into the Ivy League school whatever it is so like in contrast to those huge things I'm going to ask Hashem for the small things it's such a beautiful thoughtful question in terms of it sensitivity but I said and I really believe this from the depth of my heart that you don't understand it's the exact opposite you think that you're deferring to Hashem and his greatness and you're showing him Respect by look my things are Petty they're insignificant I'll take care of it you focus on the big things but you're doing the opposite you're insulting Hashem because you're suggesting he can't do it all and Hashem could do it all Hashem can make world peace and stop the rockets and heal the sick and also help you win your soccer game Hashem could do it all and all Hashem wants is to know you know when you dive into Hashem because someone's deathly ill terminally ill Hashem is impressed and he's grateful for those filos but he also knows they're coming he expects them because the whole Community stops when someone has terminal illness this tragedy who's not going to stop and Davin in that moment but when Hashem hears you turn to him and say I need your help to win my Sac he says wow this young girl this young boy even believes I help them I determine the outcome of the soccer game wow I feel close to them right now wow you don't prove that you believe in Hashem when you ask him for the big things you daa prove that you believe in Hashem when you ask him for the little things when too first came out when I was a kid there was a commercial um a guy's watching a football game and the game is tied with three seconds to go and his team he's going to try to kick a field goal to win the game so the commercial for too because this was this new invention was that he was able to pause the game and in the commercial he goes to church and he gets down in his hands and knees and he prays and he comes home and he presses play on too and they kick the winning field goal good leave out the Shiloh's about the timeline if the game was in real time and the prayer and the free okay leave out the shist can't can't ask cash is on a commercial but but I used to use this in teaching about is that commercial is that is that like heretical or is that a beautiful display of Faith right cut and replace the church with a Sho you're watching your favorite team and you freeze too and you go to Sho and you say parum you come home and you come back and watch and you press play is that a beautiful beautiful thing is that a hor iCal thing beautiful so most people would say that's what you use your prayers for that's what you're praying for that's what you get on your hands and knees for it's a terrible terrible thing and I say what a powerful thing what a beautiful thing what a beautiful thing is there a greater message to a parent so when it when a child reaches out to a parent because they're in crisis you know I can't pay for my apartment this month and I need your help I can't pay my bills and I I overspent and I miscalculated and I need your help so it's a big the child reached out to the parent you really feel loved as a parent cuz the par the kid reached out for you then but when the child reaches out and says I have to make a big decision and I want your advice I need your help I want to know what you think I want to tap into your wisdom oo I need to do something I want to know how you do it I want to do it the way you do it small insignificant thing I need to make the cake that you make and I wonder to how you do the cake do you heat the oil before you pour it in the potato cooko or you pour into potato while it's cold oil right stupid thing when do you feel closer to the kid when they ask you for the Theon is waiting for us he knows we believe in him not when we ask him for the wow world world peace we say help me win the soccer game that's when he knows we believe in him so he's waiting for us to ask for help making the potato C in the chellin for shom in our home for nakas from our kids for the health of our our friends when we're walking into the courtroom or the exam room or the business meeting or the supermarket or the gym we're taking all the initiative you could be driven and you could have ambition and you can be the biggest type A personality ever but if you leave out that core ingredient of asking Hashem for help the core ingredient of turning the key you can't open the door and and you know you have this image you open the door and it like pours out and overflows on top of you and you know all the BR all the BR whatever BR you need it's Health it's pouring out of that that treasury it's money pouring out of that Storehouse whatever it is but it's there K's the account is full you know it's like alend I'll give you this uh this mush you're you're meant to win the billion dollar lottery ticket you're meant to win it no K determined those are the winning numbers well you have to buy the ticket if you don't have the ticket in sh it could be determined that you're the one is supposed to get a billion dollars you got have the ticket even more you might have won the ticket K gave you a billion dollar but you got to bring it in if you don't bring it in you don't have access to the billion dollars has designated for us we have all kinds of blessing that we can't even dream or believe of but we can't access it without turning in the ticket and the way to turn in the ticket is through who knows the so when you sit and you study and you learn you only become a when you couple it with prayer and when you go work and you're killing it in work you only succeed when you couple it with prayer if you build your life on the foundation of trust and faith you will succeed and how do you build that Foundation by joining together effort and initiative with prayer work like it's all up to you and pray like it's all up to Hashem and when you do get together the two in tandem you will have success and I want to close just by pointing out that you will have success doesn't mean you're going to leave here now and you're going to go work hard and you're going to go hard work and you're going to DAV in hard and you're going to come back in a week and you say where's my billion dollars I'm working hard I'm praying hard where's my billion dollars the is the billion dollars that's is that you're going to feel like a billionaire you're going to realize you have what you need the combination of the amuna and the effort and the initiative is going to make you feel whatever I have is what I need whatever I have is is what I deserve is what I need and we should all be to feel that in our lives
