There are times in our lives that we know, I think, that we know 100% we're doing the right thing. No question about it. We know that what we're doing is our tapkid. What tough kid? Not the tough kid of life. Maybe that's very, very hard to know. But let's call it the tough kid of the moment. You know the idea of being mindful, being focused, not the tapet of life, but the tapet of the moment, the purpose of right now. I know for sure I'm doing my purpose right now. And during that time, there is no doubt. There is no confusion. Okay, I want you to think about this for a second. I'm going to give you an example or maybe a few examples to bring out my point. Imagine one day while you're doing whatever it is that you're doing, there's a massive that comes and attacks you. He tries to corner you. whatever it is going somewhere you shouldn't go doing something you shouldn't do dressing focusing on your learning whatever the case is okay at that moment right there the is about to get you it's either you either say yes or you say no like make believe on your computer you can either co close your computer and walk out or you keep it open I don't think there's any doubt of what your tough kid in that moment is there's no question about it at that moment we can all agree that there's nothing that exists in the world there's nothing that you need to do other than fighting the zahara and overcoming the sitzara that is the most important thing that's your job right now that's your toughkid right now and this really applies to everything in life there's nothing else then now after you overcome that fine so then it's the next job of that moment and whatever it is right another example when you're benching you're thanking for the food that you just ate and you're praising him you're praising Hashem the king of the world you're praising think about that for a moment you're praising the you flesh and blood you have a to praise Hashem by the way benching is dissa so now you're benching you're by a shabas meal Friday night shabas shal malafa mala whatever it is and you're benching there is nothing in the world that you are supposed to be doing at that time other than benching nothing that's your tough in the moment you're putting on you're about to make your fillin there's nothing in the world that exists right you're about to make a brah on food there's there's nothing that exists nothing this is your tk for now and there's no there's no confusion about that and obviously I'm talking about when you're using your like if you're diving shakas during my obviously use your doing the right thing during that time there's no question of what you're supposed to be doing during first s if you're learning there's nothing in the world that you're supposed to be doing other than learning nothing you're in the middle of ding there's nothing that you're supposed to be doing other than daving So that means that we know what our tough is at many points in our life. We we know with 100% clarity, crystal clarity, what we're supposed to be doing at at those given times. Now, at every single second, do we know? I I don't know. But there are many times that you do know. Okay. So, what does that mean? What does that change if I know 100% that while I'm benching right now I'm supposed to be benching or right now I'm learning or right now I'm talking to this person or whatever the case is I know that that's what I'm supposed to be doing. So well what does that change? And the answer is like we said before well when we know that we're accomplishing our mission when we know that we're doing exactly what we're supposed to be doing. Then we'll do it with so much more passion so much more fire so much more focus because we're literally succeeding in the mission of life for right now. And I guess if we internalize this idea and all of our life, I'm not saying it's easy, but if we could internalize this idea, we'll serve Hashem so much better. Every every braha you say will be different. Every all the cavana you have will be different because there's nothing in life going on other than
