[Music] you know what the highlight of my day was by the way well i already told you i was mountain biking today but i had another highlight of the day that was amazing was that we finally got a new door we've been we've had this crazy door since i've owned this house we've had a crazy door it's just dysfunctional but i don't know why we were so attached to our door so we we finally got rid of it i think my actually my kids got rid of it when we were out of town and uh they bought a new door with my credit card and so i woke up this morning to like you know like hacksaws and they're like taking down our door and putting up this beautiful new door it's gorgeous i'm so happy that we did this and the guy says that some big rabbi told him a couple years ago when he was putting in a door in his house that make sure whoever's house you go to to put in a door makes you ask for something to eat or drink he's like why because you must make a blessing in their house you got to leave your blessing in their house especially with doors i mean you're you're putting in their security system you know like give a give give an added blessing to it because what's good is a door for someone who really wants to get in you know what what's the door going to help so make a blessing in their house too give the door give a blessing so he said so if you don't mind for my father and i was interested in his father had a trach and had to press a button to talk to me which which was which was just beautiful watching the two of them and how he would kind of help his father along and and the anyway the um he says to me so do you mind making us two cups of coffee we each like a teaspoon of teaspoon of coffee a half of sugar and a little bit of milk the highlight of my day that i get to be the coffee maker for the door door guy and there i was went to my kitchen a teaspoon of this and a half teaspoon of that the highlight of my day was making this coffee so then i go back in my room to get my off-road gear and i'm coming out with all my padding and everything and and the uh for riding riding gear and he sees my riding gear and the guy's gonna you're an off-roader and i'm like yeah and he's like i'm an off-road he pulls out a cell phone and his smartphone shows me him off-roading in his rubicon jeep down really crazy stuff and riverbeds and big rocks and really great and the guy says i'm like totally addicted off-roading my whole life and i'm like me too he's like how old are you i said i'm 50. he said when he was born he was hebrew speaker so he knew more the hebrew and he's like may oh no actually april i'm like me too like what they need please like the a i'm like me too we were both born 51 years ago on the same exact day and we're both addicted to off-roading were crazy but anyway the highlight of my day was doing something good was turning off the voice of the body that's the evolutionary side of me that says survival the fit is and to help with them and make your own damn coffee man i'm going riding you know i'm a uh i'm a uh what do you call those people from l.a it's one of the 10 personality disorders i'm a narcissistic l.a kid trying to get to the trails man i'm not a coffee maker you know go to cafe aroma mister find a starbucks but i put my body on my i put that voice on hold and and brought in a higher voice and made coffee and i'm telling you it was the highlight of my day was the best part of my day was being the coffee maker this is another highlight because i'm giving this class i'm giving a class big highlight think about it you're you go to sleep at night and sleep well knowing you gave that day and ten times better you sleep if you got feedback which i'm always asking people please send feedback you know like people people think everything's fine with me they don't understand i'm also a person i have down days i can be trolled i can be uh who knows what i'm going through i'm like a human being for heaven's sakes you know i can go through my own hell and and to see someone send me a whatsapp saying i made a difference for them is like that's the difference between a horror between a bad day and a horrible day because the horrible day was going on and the bad it moved up to bad with one whatsapp and it made a difference for somebody but i think all of us should be making a difference till the feedback hits just a good measure you know it's nice to do a little something for somebody here and there you feel better but uh but i think maybe the measure of it is when it's starting to come back to you and also another thing oh story in europe crazy story in europe so we're off-roading in europe and um this this some guy i guess he was fixing his tire i don't know what he was doing but he was sitting in the middle of the trail and so and so you know give them a chance to get up but the guy in the front of our riding group was a little bit aggressive and a bit of a jerk and i had noticed this guy in the last 48 hours had more things go wrong than his humanly possible i mean this guy's mazel was like minus a hundred it just if it could go wrong it would go wrong i mean this guy and he would also forget everything everywhere and i was like i'm not even gonna go into it because maybe he'll watch this video but anyway so i was just wondering like how can anyone have such terrible muzzle and then so the guy the guy gets up because he realizes he's gonna get hit by this guy with a bad muzzle he gets up and the guy with the bad muzzle rolls right over his glasses his sunglasses and mountain bikers and their sunglasses are it's an intimate relationship we take our glasses pretty seriously and they're now crushed and you know he kind of reaches down and hands the guy his crushed sunglasses because he couldn't wait another second and uh but then it all made sense and then he looks back at me and he says you know what an idiot he left this i'm not gonna use his superlative begin with an f glasses on the trail i was like actually you're an idiot and i didn't say that but you're the idiot when you roll over someone's glasses you pull out a hundred euros or depending on the glasses but as an instinct and you hand in the money so fast that the time the guy realizes that he just lost his glasses he's already holding the money for the new pair that maybe he would say wow that's a special guy and the stupid move you made wound up becoming a blessing for you because you took instant responsibility like instinctual responsibility like you're so on on point with you leaving the least carbon footprint as possible and the greatest fingerprints you want what you want in this world is as little footprint as possible and as much fingerprints as possible that you touch the world and that what could have been a curse becomes a blessing shalom if you enjoyed watching this well watch some more send it click it forward it join it subscribe to it you know keep coming on and joining me
