Lasting - R. Meir Simcha Sperling - TorahAnytime.com

This is the punchline. You have to let things change you. When you listen to a good sheer or you listen to a powerful clip or you learn a safer or you davin Hakadosh Baruch Hu and you're trying to change, you have to let that go with you. Don't leave it all the second it's over. Don't leave it the second you close the safer. Don't forget about your yiras Shamayim and what you just cried for 3 minutes ago. Don't forget that when you leave shul. We have to let it affect us. We have to let it change us. Try to hold on to it cuz then you will change. And you could davin for Hashem. Davin to Hashem to help you. Hashem, please help that when this tefillah is over I'm I'm still going to have it. Rebbe said this comes up very often Motzei Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur we are crying mamesh with tears and a fire and we're going and we're changing and my kabbalahs 600 kabbalahs I took on this year. Rebbe said I'm not and every one of them on let's go and I'm starting off Yom Kippur and my yiras Shamayim is going to be through the roof and my emunah and my bitachon and I'm going to be nicer to everybody and 2 hours later you're like, "Today was Yom Today was Yom Kippur? It feels like months ago." Totally forget the whole thing. It has to have an impression. Just like your very expensive cologne lasts for 3 months. After a few showers it's still there. You know what I'm saying? The same thing over here. We have to let that last. Don't let it go. Stay with it. Whether it's a tefillah or whether it's a mussar safer or even if it's just a sheer. You're listening to a sheer for a few minutes or you're inspired by something. >> [snorts] >> So hold on to that. I want to be different. I want to keep steiging. I want to make Hashem proud. I want Hashem to be proud of me. I want to be a person that after 120 years Hakadosh Baruch Hu could call the malachim and say, "This is the person that I had in mind when I created man."
