🦅 Unleash Your Potential – You Were Born to Fly! 🌟| TORAH FOR KIDS AI

There was one time a guy looking for chickens and he went to a farm and the farmer was working, doing his thing. All he knew was his trade. He wasn't exactly a master of all trades, but he knew what he was [music] doing. I told this story a few weeks ago. It's a very, very old story that has a lot of musar, a lot of lessons for life that we need to know. A guy came and he said, "Listen, I'm looking for a chicken." He said, "Listen, I have lots of chickens. Pick whatever you want." "Just do it quickly because I have to feed the other animals." So, the guy looks at the chickens. He's a little confused cuz he sees this is not a typical This is not so typical. Some unusual here. He says, "I can buy any chicken?" The farmer is confused why he's asking him the same question twice. He says, "Yeah, please just hurry up. I got to feed the other animals. >> [music] >> It's 5:30 already." You know, farmers [snorts] are not like us wake up at 11:00 in the afternoon. They start their day at 4:00. So, he says, "I have to feed the other animals. No, no. Yallah, let's go." "Is there any chicken?" "No, any chicken. Quickly, [music] please. It's just based on the weight." He goes, "Even the black and white one over there?" He goes, "Well, you have a huge family. Such a big chicken you need?" [music] He goes, "I'm just asking. Can I get that chicken?" He says, "Yes, you get the chicken. Want the chicken, get the chicken." "Well, I want that one." "Okay. Go get it. I'll give you the chicken." "How much?" "Four bucks." "Really? $4 for this chicken?" "$4, sir. Please, I got to feed the animals. The cows are mooing. No, I got to feed them." He gives him the $4. He goes in his car and he can't believe [music] what's happened. He's in his car. He He looks at the chicken next to him. He's confused. Drives up to the mountain. He takes this huge bird in both of his hand because it's so big. He whispers in its ear. You're an eagle. Fly. And he pushes the eagle in the air off the mountain and forces [music] it to fly. Now, why didn't the eagle eat all the chickens? Why didn't the eagle fly on his own? Eagles are vicious animals. They're not exactly friendly with chickens. A typical eagle will eat all these chickens for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the beginning of the morning. They'll have chicken lo mein, in the afternoon, chicken this, chicken that. Different meal every Why isn't he eating all the chickens? Because his whole life, since this eagle was a baby, he was surrounded by chickens. So, he thought he's a chicken. They never told him the chickens never gathered around him and told him, "Listen, sorry to tell you, we're not your Abba and Ima. We're not your We adopted you." They're not going to tell him that. There's no like intervention. So, he didn't know he's a chicken. He didn't know he's he's not a chicken. He thought he's a chicken. So, he never tried using his wings. He just thought he's a big chicken. That's us. Our sages teach us that every single Jew, no matter who your father is, no matter who your brother is, no matter who your sister is, or who your kids are, has to say to himself, "When will my actions be like Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov?" Meaning, "When will I me me When will I be like Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov?" So, if we're commanded to do this, what does it mean? That means we all can do it because Hashem is not going to give you a responsibility that you can't do. He's not going to tell you, "Listen, do me a favor. Every day at 8:00 in the morning, lift the whole building with one finger." >> [clears throat] >> He's not going to give you a mitzvah like that. Why? Cuz you can't do it. He's not going to tell your kid, "Listen, I love you, son. Do me a favor. Go take the car and throw it over the river with one hand. I want to see how far you could throw the car." He's not going to give him such a thing. Why? Because he can't do it. "Oh, son, listen. I know you just got out of your diapers. Do me a favor. Run the company for the week. I want to go take a vacation." You're not going to tell him that. Why? He doesn't even know how to talk yet. You're not going to give your kid some type of responsibility that you know he can't do. Hashem is telling us we are responsible to say every day, "When will I be When will my actions be like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?" Which means we can do it. We can be like them. So, what's our problem? Our problem is that we've been surrounded by chickens our whole life. So, we think we're a chicken. We've been surrounded by our whole life. So, we think we're a Sometimes those were actually Jews pretending to be also. Sometimes they were also eagles pretending to be chickens. Sometimes it was actually chicken. Either way, you're an eagle anyway. Fly. Hashem says, "Fly. You can do it. You just have to push yourself. You have to want it. Just like you want anything in life. If you want anything in life, you have to push yourself. You want to succeed in life [music] in business, you have to push yourself. You want to succeed in marriage, you have to push yourself. You want to succeed in school, >> [music] >> you have to push yourself. Anything that comes easy is a problem. >> Hashem will bring >> Let's say thank you Hashem for more Torah. >> 1 2 3 Thank you thank you Hashem. 1 2 3 >> Be anxious. >> [music]
