and we'll end off I don't know there's a
better example than this yourself at
sanic dreams of being the leader of the
world not for personal reasons not for
his ego like some of our leaders today
rather he wanted to help but help in a
large scale help people help humanity he
dreamt of it he dreamt of greatness and
by the way from Yaakov aminos home to
become the leader of the world is not so
far because Yaakov Avena was royalty
like Abraham and needs hat like a front
old Abraham Nessie Elohim at a bit of a
no you're a prince of God so the dream
of being in the White House for Yaakov
IV knows children is not so far and then
the worst thing can happen for someone
who dreams to be in the White House the
worst thing could happen he gets sold to
be a slave slave in those times he's a
slave forever his children will be
slaves and not only is he sold as a
slave it's in a foreign country where he
has no family nobody that knows him his
dreams are shattered forget about the
White House it's not happening and then
all of a sudden an opportunity opens up
he gets sold to one of the most
prominent people in
so now he's an avid for someone who
works at the White House okay listen

and then something even greater happens
something better happens the wife of
this prominent person what are the most
prominent woman in Egypt likes him she
wants to marry him she wants to be with
him

is the next step to the white house

and Yusef was about to go with her we
think that this test was from a physical
nature which it was but his test was
even bigger because was more than
physical it was his way to his dreams
this was the ticket to his dreams if he
doesn't listen to her he will go the
opposite way they'll put him in jail
they might kill him and yourself says
how can I do this it's wrong I will sin
to the husband to married woman can't
take a married woman and I will send to
God it's wrong it makes sense this is
the ticket to my dreams this is the way
I'm gonna get my money how many times in
business you have an opportunity to make
a lot of money but you're gonna have to
be dishonest you're gonna have to cheat

happened to you it happens all the time
we have decisions to make we have dreams
and then we have to make decisions and
sometimes our values are against the
dreams what do we do

decided he will do the right thing
he will do the Ament he's not going to
go and trade in his values even if it
makes sense even if that's the way he's
gonna get this dream he's not doing it
and guess what happens he gets thrown in
jail the worst possible outcome for a
guy who's that who stopped working on
Shabbat they convinced him stop working
