For those people that have started doing chuva, never get Never get too arrogant. Never think for a moment that you are better than anybody, even a person that hasn't done chuva. Why? Because there are plenty of people that have done chuva and fell right back. Just in the last 48 hours, unfortunately, discovered a person that I know from a long time ago, did chuva 30 years ago, just left his entire family. 30 years they did chuva already. 30 years all families already a grandfather already right now. Less than left his entire family. For what? For some woman that's old enough to be the mother of his wife. The mother of his wife. He left his wife, beautiful wife, kids, everything for some old lady. Why? Yetzer hara. Yetzer hara, my people. Yetzer hara. Don't ever feel too comfortable with where you are. You have to continuously go higher, continuously work harder, continuously strive to be better. Don't think that what you're doing is, "Oh, I'm better than everybody else." Needless to say, if you see other people doing better than you, aspire to be like them. Don't judge them. Don't think that they were bad because you're not as good or so on. Always try to do better. Always try to do better. You failed, try again. You failed, try again and again and again and again. Needless to say, if you want to get anywhere good in your life, make sure you have some type of da'at Torah, some type of chakham that's directing you in which way to go, whether it's at work or it's marriage or it's this or it's that. Anything that you're doing, you need to have da'at Torah with you because you can't do it by yourself.
