So this old man and his son are living
in this brutal cold winter in Eastern
Europe. Son goes out one morning to work
in the farm. He's freezing. He asks his
father for the one coat that they have.
And the old man says, "No, I need the
coat for myself." The boy says, "No, I
need the coat for myself. I'm working
outside." They go to the rabbi. The
rabbi listens to both sides and he says,
"Your son is right." He gets the coat.
He's working outdoors. They go home. The
son tells his dad, "You see, I'm right."
He puts on the coat. But when he sees
his father trembling from the brutal
cold, he just can't bear it anymore. He
takes off his coat and he gives it to
his father. The next morning, as the
father watches his son going out to the
freezing cold, brutal weather without a
coat. And he sees his son trembling, he
calls him and he says, "I can't deal
with this. You take the coat." The boy
says, "No, Dad. You take the coat." They
get into a fight again. They go to the
rabbi. The rabbi listens and he says,
"You know, I have an idea. In my closet,
I have an old coat. Here is a second
coat. So, both of you could have a coat.
The old man says, "Rabbi, why couldn't
you come up with this idea? The first
time around," the rabbi says, "The first
time around, you came screaming, "It's
my coat." Your son came screaming, "It's
my coat." Subconsciously, I was
screaming, "It's my coat." This time
around, you were screaming, "It's your
coat." Your son was screaming, "It's
your coat." Subconsciously, I said to
myself, I want to share my coat. It's
the energy that we project to others
that arouses and creates the results we
all crave.
