in all these battles we're doing
something
scary that's why we have to be told
don't be
afraid if it wasn't scary we wouldn't
have to be told don't be afraid and
Hashem is with you we would have to be
told that the ver is what we're doing is
scary the only reason T is telling us do
not be afraid when you go to m is
because the natural instinct is to be
scared which means they're doing
something scary if we're applying this
concept Muhammad to ourselves so it's I
would tell you very easy for me if I
would say to myself my cabala on myself
this El or as I get to R forget kabalas
I want to take myself to grow to wake up
and be on time for
shakas I would not have an ounce of fear
of my heart that doesn't scare me I'm a
morning person doesn't mean it's always
easy to get up but I'm a morning person
doesn't scare

meeting with a couple couples often
reach out to me secular couples reach
out to me to officiate their weddings
now I know 90% of the time I can't
officiate their wedding why cuz almost
always the weddings are trfe and I I I
won't officiate such a
wedding so but I don't tell them that in
the beginning cuz I want an opportunity
to connect with them these These are

just you know go back to the old ways
you know kind of like lifestyle
difference and I'm like okay we're not
talking about the wedding anymore like
we we got to talk about this I said but

the new phone comes out like I know
about it you know what I mean and I know
the features whatever like I'm into that
and you know I I very much try to
interact with the world through Tech

myself that scares me I'm just speaking
person that scares me my kids you know
the phones they use are flip phones
kosher flip phones for me to get a
kosher flip phone I'm like I don't know
I could do that so this totally non from
you is giving me lessons and I said okay
I'm doing it and I decided for said this
is something I want to try it's like a
lifestyle I want to try
it so as you can tell I still have an
iPhone otherwise how would I be
recording anything but I don't care it
anymore which has been it's been
actually liberating it's been wonderful
very anxiety producing the first few
days do you understand what it means to
get to bed at night and open this up and
go it literally does nothing I can't I
can only send a text message and it
takes me nine hours to write yes I'm
literally just trying to write yes I
have to clear as I felt like I felt like
my dad I like I went to my kids can you
show me how to do this please show me
how to I literally asking my kids please
show me how to work
this
anyway that you know this is not you
know but this is something small for me
this was something like big I was like
it's a big deal that that was scary for
me can I do that like now I'm not making
any life commitments this is something
I'm trying and see how it
goes see if it
works but to ask ourselves what scares
you what do you have resistance
to maybe something that's not even
AER but you know that if you were to
like try that you'd feel really good
you'd feel like you got in touch with
your nsh something your nshama wanted
you acted on that even though your body
was like kind of pulling you somewhere
else you're mat you feel amazing
