A True Gibor - R’ Yossi Bensoussan

[Music] What is the greatest conquest that a human being can have? What is the greatest accomplishment? What is the highest level? So many things in life we struggle with and some of them are just stories that we tell ourselves that might be true, might not be true. We get offended, we have anger, we have resentment, we have to go through forgiveness. Then there are things that are so much deeper. These are the things that we never asked for and no matter who we are, we struggle through. These are things that are born out of our instinct. The Mishna says, "Who is the strong one?" The Mishna is obviously not referring to a person with muscle or a person who can run a mile. What is the Mishna referring to? It's what is strength. And this isn't just strength in one area. Who is a person who feels as a geber? Who faces their life and their day as a geber? Who goes through relationships, who goes through connections, who goes through walking, who goes through learning, who goes through the journey of life as a geber. Have you ever felt that you're just not enough? It's just so difficult out there. You don't feel capable. You don't feel adequate. Have you ever felt that there's a way to work on this? The Swarm tell us that one of the best ways is through our discipline of Shmeir say. When I'm greater than what's going on in my minds, when I'm greater, when I'm bigger than being able to control what comes through my eyes and into my brain, when I take that seriously, I send my soul, I send my subconscious, I send myself a message. I matter. And that builds confidence that builds discipline which in turn builds the self-esteem which in turn builds our self view of who we are. When we do that every other facet of our lives becomes affected through that decision. We end up more confident in our relationships, more confident in our business, more confident in who we are. We sleep better. We wake up better. Our lives become enriched when we're able to do something that ensures in our mind and in our soul and in our heart that I'm bigger than this. We're and the result is that we are a ge not only tied with the label of gear but we actually feel as a gebar and there is nothing a human being who feels as a ge cannot accomplish in this world.
