Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just -The Real Path to Humility and Self-Awareness 3.11.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:01
  In orbit D1 before 50. OK, so yesterday and we
• 0:11
  developed this concept of being low key humility.
• 0:15
  Have you define it? He said.
• 0:17
  One of the main components is not taking credit for things or
• 0:21
  not being very busy with credit. That means a person can be
• 0:25
  spiritually very successful. Spiritually, he learns a lot.
• 0:30
  He is very involved in the community organizations.
• 0:33
  He has a lot of charity. He gives a lot of classes,
• 0:37
  whatever it may be. And he was inclined to think I
• 0:42
  should pack myself on the back. Maybe I did this right for that.
• 0:44
  Right to what other thing? How'd you get here?
• 0:46
  You got here because of this. You have a little story.
• 0:49
  Giving yourself credit, he says. He says that Hashem does not
• 0:53
  like taking credits. God did not even want some of
• 0:57
  our greats, our kings to take credit for what they've done was
• 1:00
  the first time to recognize the real credit is not ourselves.
• 1:04
  And really, we said yesterday that being an individual who
• 1:07
  needs credit often leads to a lot of problems.
• 1:10
  For example, anytime you're involved in helping someone, if
• 1:14
  now in your mind is who are they going to thank at the end of the
• 1:17
  day? Then when they have their final
• 1:20
  thank yous and they don't mention you, we apologize you.
• 1:22
  I remember last year I helped someone a lot of a certain thing
• 1:25
  and I went to their party after all the issue was over and they
• 1:29
  got up there and they thanked every, literally whatever they
• 1:33
  call every Tom, Dick and Harry from one side of the world to
• 1:36
  the other and they left me out. I remember this speech and I'm
• 1:39
  saying to myself like, hello, I gave you a couple of days of my
• 1:42
  life. I pretty dedicated there.
• 1:45
  Where are we? And the answer didn't play into
• 1:47
  his script to mention people like me.
• 1:49
  Fine, say dementia if you care about credits.
• 1:52
  Things like that will bother you all the time, which means it
• 1:56
  makes it someone they leave you out, they have a share about
• 1:59
  alcohol, they think everyone getting involved in the marriage
• 2:01
  and they should do, and they leave the main person out.
• 2:04
  This stuff is every other day. What about?
• 2:07
  If it bothers. You for a second and then you
• 2:09
  think about it after learning what we're learning.
• 2:12
  And yes, you were blessed. Yes.
• 2:15
  So the wiring is the wiring going to get to is literally
• 2:18
  that point which is you, of course you care about being
• 2:22
  mentioned. We all care one way or another,
• 2:24
  but we have in our minds it's OK affair says it's not a big deal.
• 2:29
  Thank God I'm in this position. I'd rather be on the giving and
• 2:32
  the helping and then the taking. And of course, so all that
• 2:35
  mindset is going to effect and you say to yourself, you know
• 2:37
  what, credit actually sometimes even detrimental because other
• 2:41
  people get jealous. All those mindsets and you get
• 2:43
  yourself out of the head. But the number one thing you
• 2:45
  need is not to be dependent on credit.
• 2:48
  Some people out there do they do things, but they're very housing
• 2:52
  in the sense that they're very dependent on being mentioned.
• 2:55
  If you think I'm crazy, it's all over the place.
• 2:58
  Therefore, birds has to dewire themselves from that mind and
• 3:02
  Hashem does not want us to be busy with credit even when it
• 3:05
  comes to spiritual areas, even when it comes to much more.
• 3:10
  You should not feel the deserve a power in the back all the
• 3:13
  time. That's what he says now on page
• 3:16
  450. He gives us kind of a roundup
• 3:18
  and a very clear way how to keep our humility at Bay.
• 3:24
  Besides with the credit concept. Let's see this inside Voemnam,
• 3:28
  however, call ZE O mashidou E la Shiva libu MI she Ek a brahan
• 3:34
  que Moshe Caron for davi oshara hassim shazakhan.
• 3:39
  Everything I mentioned about getting credit out of your
• 3:41
  system, trying to be humble, all those things.
• 3:44
  Trying to figure out a way to humble yourself, that's for the
• 3:46
  greats. But he says reality is most of
• 3:50
  us have a much easier path to your mood.
• 3:53
  It's a little tough. Most of us have a very clear
• 3:56
  path to your Moody and that is as great as we are.
• 4:00
  There are easy flaws. Here are easy areas.
• 4:03
  We can be real with ourselves, be honest with ourselves and
• 4:05
  say, listen, I'm not perfect. And because I'm not perfect, I
• 4:10
  can remain humble. I can wanna close the door.
• 4:13
  Sorry, there's no way, He says. It's pretty strong.
• 4:21
  He says, you know, when you have to hold the person at Bay and
• 4:24
  can't convince him to be humble. That is true for the greats.
• 4:27
  Let's look at his words. Ava nach nuyi tomei tomei.
• 4:31
  These are strong words. We are in a sense, use the word
• 4:34
  orphans. In other words, we're we're
• 4:37
  we're not really in that position.
• 4:38
  And on who's Rahim Jose? We do not need to convince
• 4:41
  ourselves to become low key. We do not need to, you know, try
• 4:45
  to find a way to keep myself at Bay.
• 4:47
  I'm at Bay naturally. And that is Kikwa yesh vayesh
• 4:52
  Itano restaurant robot. Every person who feels that they
• 4:57
  deserve a lot of credit, they deserve a lot of honor needs to
• 5:00
  be very real with himself and be real means don't you know that
• 5:03
  you're flawed? Don't you know that you have
• 5:05
  something in your system that's a little bit embarrassing?
• 5:08
  Everybody's got something that holds him back.
• 5:11
  Chance that you that all you don't need to look very far that
• 5:14
  art Perhito Tenu we do not need to look very far to find where
• 5:19
  we're limited. The call Hakhmatenu Kai Nashevit
• 5:23
  in all our wisdom is really in a certain sense, he says like
• 5:27
  nothing. If you want to go to a person
• 5:30
  when you want to take down and you want to make them be real
• 5:33
  with themselves, right? You find the guys in Eric and
• 5:36
  you you relate to them. You want to talk down you want
• 5:38
  to talk him down. How long does it take before you
• 5:41
  find something that can hold them at Bay, before you find
• 5:45
  something that's humbling? How long does it take?
• 5:49
  Takes less than it might go there.
• 5:50
  Takes a second. You find the guy, you say, oh,
• 5:52
  you're so proud of yourself. Like no one knows what you did
• 5:54
  in business two years ago. No one knows, you know, you know
• 5:58
  how you do this or how you did that or how you got that job or
• 6:01
  how you pulled that fast One. No one knows the whole story,
• 6:04
  right? No one knows that embarrassing
• 6:05
  moment. And you can find them in two
• 6:07
  seconds. And that's not meant to
• 6:09
  disparage people at all. That's we don't do that, but on
• 6:13
  our own mind, we need to keep ourselves at Bay.
• 6:16
  We need to keep ourselves real. That's all it is.
• 6:18
  Being humble is being real. That's his main point.
• 6:22
  Holding yourself back from feeling like you deserve all the
• 6:25
  credit in the world, from feeling like you deserve all the
• 6:28
  cavort in the world from getting angry every time they they don't
• 6:31
  give you proper appreciation or they don't stand up for you or
• 6:34
  they don't make it be tell you. All you need to do is notice and
• 6:37
  recognize the fact that we are a flawed existence without that be
• 6:41
  we're not more share without our own.
• 6:43
  And even Arun Aquin, even Arun Heta Eagle, he was involved in
• 6:48
  the Heta Eagle and he say it was because he had no choice, right?
• 6:51
  Yet still when Arun faced the Mizbaya the first time he saw
• 6:58
  the Mizbaya 1 issue in his life. He saw them as bear.
• 7:02
  You know, he saw come right at him, He saw his short, he looked
• 7:05
  at the Mizbaya, he saw the eagle.
• 7:08
  Couldn't even see them as bathroom, couldn't even server
• 7:10
  Cordban. He was so scared because he
• 7:12
  reminded himself of his one floor and sisterhood.
• 7:16
  That's a great person, unbelievably great person, who
• 7:19
  on his entire mind all the time was the one floor.
• 7:22
  That's him. Us, right?
• 7:26
  Exactly. Us.
• 7:27
  All of a sudden, he's nowhere. I came right now and still he
• 7:31
  was petrified. Us, we need to be real with
• 7:33
  ourselves. And that means if you're in a
• 7:35
  conversation and you are way better than the person you're
• 7:38
  talking to, you doing so much more and they don't treat you
• 7:40
  properly and you're about to get upset, just tell yourself calm
• 7:44
  down. Calm down.
• 7:46
  I'm not the deal and dole. I'm not everything.
• 7:49
  Relax. I have some things in my closet.
• 7:51
  I have some things that I'm not so proud of.
• 7:53
  I'm have some things that I have to deal with.
• 7:55
  Whatever it be, right? Every person's got his own
• 7:58
  version of that and every person, we all have it and every
• 8:01
  person is going to hold themselves at Bay.
• 8:02
  And that thing might be some sort of issue with the
• 8:04
  relationship or something small, even some sort of issue in
• 8:07
  business that 20 years ago you're not so proud of.
• 8:10
  It does not matter. It's there and it's not there to
• 8:13
  embarrass you. It's there to keep you, you the
• 8:15
  goal. He's not trying to disparage if
• 8:18
  anyone ever mentions these things to you and doing a very I
• 8:22
  move to mention your flaws to you.
• 8:24
  But yourself, your mind to yourself is different than the
• 8:27
  way they talk to you. You yourself.
• 8:30
  You need to be real. Not because you need to be azit,
• 8:33
  not because you need to be, I don't know, insecure lack of
• 8:37
  self esteem. You should be as confidence as
• 8:38
  confidence gets you. Have a lot of the wealthy
• 8:41
  people, like they do a lot of superstitious stuff because they
• 8:44
  don't have that confidence and they don't leave themselves.
• 8:47
  I hate to look habilis, rabbis and all these type of things.
• 8:50
  But that's not because of their flaws.
• 8:53
  They're just so petrified of certain things.
• 8:55
  It's not because they feel insecure in their existence,
• 8:58
  it's because they're scared what the model is going to bring.
• 9:00
  That's a different wiring. That's unhealthy wire, all
• 9:03
  right. Believing themselves.
• 9:04
  Not themselves, really. They don't believe.
• 9:06
  They don't know what tomorrow. They were so, so sad here, I
• 9:08
  think. Talk it.
• 9:09
  They don't know what tomorrow. That's different wiring.
• 9:12
  I thought a healthy wiring is a dangerous one.
• 9:13
  Themselves. Huh.
• 9:15
  They don't know the value of themselves.
• 9:17
  It's sure. So at the same time, at the same
• 9:21
  time he's pushing. Even though we know a person has
• 9:23
  to be confident. Just so you know, insecurity is
• 9:27
  not the goal over here. Reminding yourself of your flaws
• 9:31
  does not mean you should now feel like a hazy person.
• 9:34
  Absolutely not. You are meant to be extremely
• 9:37
  confident. You should have great self
• 9:39
  esteem. You should feel like $1,000,000.
• 9:41
  You should feel like everything now.
• 9:43
  How do you do that and still be a person I'm interested in
• 9:47
  talking to? How do you feel like $1,000,000
• 9:50
  and still be like the person that I know $1,000,000 is not
• 9:52
  enough today, but how do you feel like whatever it is?
• 9:54
  They have a song, by the way. Exactly.
• 9:57
  They have a song right now. There's a song out there, Jewish
• 10:01
  song. What they talk about What's a
• 10:05
  billionaire? Kids singing about, In fact, Ezu
• 10:08
  Ashir, what's a wealthy person and they think about what's a
• 10:11
  billionaire And someone made a comment, right?
• 10:13
  Someone made comments and what I'm saying, he used to be that
• 10:15
  that song would be about what's a millionaire.
• 10:17
  Today they're talking about a billionaire.
• 10:18
  The name of the song is Billionaire $4000 Question.
• 10:23
  Not exactly. Then this is the best food.
• 10:26
  Yeah, he's the first food. Yeah.
• 10:28
  Yeah, He's the most insecure man on earth, by the way.
• 10:30
  Talk about insecurity. But the point is I saw.
• 10:33
  A guy who was $65 billion he hated.
• 10:36
  Yes. A sick guy.
• 10:38
  How's it? I'm Louise.
• 10:42
  I saw. I saw him in Israel.
• 10:45
  I took him in the car. Like I said, right.
• 10:50
  It's true. Left for his kid, $65 billion is
• 10:54
  right. Right.
• 10:55
  Nothing but. That's a sure, and money's
• 10:58
  definitely not there. It's 100%, Yeah.
• 11:02
  It's in a dire position, yeah. But when a person wants to feel
• 11:07
  good about themselves, it does not require taking away your
• 11:11
  good carriers. That's the whole point.
• 11:12
  You should have confidence, you should have self esteem.
• 11:15
  You should build the children up to have great self esteem.
• 11:18
  But then we blur the lines and that is, are we trying to make
• 11:21
  our children have self esteem now?
• 11:23
  We want to make them feel like they're everything Now we want
• 11:25
  them to feel good about everything.
• 11:27
  The flaw in that system, the flaw in our system is now all of
• 11:31
  a sudden we get insulted by any lack of appreciation, very lack
• 11:35
  of, of, of thank you by any, you know, not getting the proper
• 11:39
  credit for who you are. How'd that happen?
• 11:41
  The goal is self esteem. How'd it turn into a hollow,
• 11:46
  cheap, very delicate person? The answer is the person did not
• 11:50
  keep themselves at Bay. I recognize the fact as great as
• 11:54
  I am, I'm still a flawed person. I still human being and I made a
• 11:58
  flesh and blood and I made a mistake.
• 12:00
  I probably made 20 mistakes yesterday.
• 12:02
  Let's be real. I probably made 20 mistakes
• 12:04
  yesterday. And if somebody was about to
• 12:06
  give me this great cowboy saw those mistakes, they might not
• 12:10
  be so impressed by me. I'm talking about myself, right?
• 12:13
  You probably got into, I probably got into a
• 12:14
  conversation. I should have gone down that
• 12:16
  road. I probably waste a little time
• 12:18
  on my car. I'm just giving you some classic
• 12:20
  examples. I probably was a little cold to
• 12:23
  one person, probably ignored a good morning to another person.
• 12:26
  I'm sure that was there. That is a nice stuff.
• 12:28
  I feel there's worse stuff, right?
• 12:30
  That's probably didn't pay a person fast enough.
• 12:32
  He's all the regular system that we do all the time.
• 12:35
  And if a person has in front of them all their flaws, it doesn't
• 12:40
  mean to weaken you. It's not meant to make you feel
• 12:43
  bad, but it is meant to keep you who you want to be, who you want
• 12:48
  to be as a regular human being. Great confidence, but no
• 12:51
  arrogance. How is that possible without
• 12:54
  having a bloated this unbelievable perspective of who
• 12:58
  you are? You could feel great about
• 12:59
  yourself, but see the flaws. There's nothing wrong with
• 13:02
  seeing the flaws today, in this day and age, in any area, in any
• 13:07
  industry. Schooling, rabbis, parenting
• 13:13
  psychologist. Your name.
• 13:15
  All right, Let's call those the big four.
• 13:17
  Teachers, rabbis, parents and therapists.
• 13:22
  They all are very busy getting rid of removing the flawed
• 13:27
  existence. You cannot know your faults.
• 13:30
  Now, is that a good thing or a bad thing?
• 13:31
  It used to be strength, huh? There used to be a strength.
• 13:34
  I know my flaws. Right.
• 13:36
  Right. You can't know your flaws.
• 13:37
  Imagine you're a coach of a team.
• 13:39
  You have a hard time telling the ball player, you know really
• 13:42
  when you drive the ball too fast, you're going to travel
• 13:46
  have all the time telling them anymore because you don't want
• 13:48
  to tell them it's flaws. I don't know your your kids
• 13:50
  going to coach. Do the coaches tell them when
• 13:52
  they make a mistake? Depends on the coach.
• 13:55
  Right, Sure. It's a hard thing.
• 13:56
  I'm sure there's some coaches that should be telling.
• 13:58
  I'm sure some coaches are nervous to do it.
• 14:00
  There's only one and he gets ridiculed for being so harsh.
• 14:03
  Right. Exactly, exactly.
• 14:06
  But the point is right. But the regular 1.
• 14:09
  So now what you got to do, you have to do a workaround.
• 14:14
  You have to do the workaround. If you're afraid of if you're
• 14:18
  afraid of letting a person know his flaws, you basically have to
• 14:21
  just kind of hint to them in this sort of way.
• 14:23
  Why? Because you think the floor is
• 14:25
  going to destroy him. No, the floor is going to build
• 14:28
  him in the right way. Knowing your floors is actually
• 14:31
  a way of knowing your strengths through your floors.
• 14:34
  You build. If someone would tell me and I I
• 14:36
  I look out for this, if someone would tell me my mistakes or my,
• 14:40
  my things that I did wrong. And I can't address those.
• 14:43
  And I can make it that much stronger.
• 14:44
  I'm not asking you if there's anything, but I was eating very
• 14:48
  excited. Yeah.
• 14:50
  I see you getting very exciting. There was not the goal of this
• 14:53
  this session. We'll do it that later.
• 14:56
  But therapist now, therapist is meant to build yourself
• 14:58
  confidence, right? Imagine a therapist, he's about
• 15:01
  to do his ability, self-confidence.
• 15:02
  But what? He tells you how great you are,
• 15:04
  but if you don't tell the person where they're lacking, then
• 15:06
  you're going to build that bloated version of
• 15:08
  self-confidence. They're going to come home.
• 15:10
  They're going to be an impossible husband.
• 15:11
  Why are they going to be an impossible husband because they
• 15:13
  just got a bloated ego? Yeah.
• 15:15
  What about telling the guy that he's a great guy?
• 15:17
  Not when your kid you have to encourage him.
• 15:19
  Encouragement is beautiful, girl.
• 15:21
  Trust me, I'm in the young age of a young father.
• 15:23
  I'm doing encouragement all day long.
• 15:25
  I told you yesterday about the score, right?
• 15:28
  Like 5150, like in down a score and and and a test.
• 15:32
  If there are a lot, a lot of studying, it's a ridiculous
• 15:34
  score. He never got that score before.
• 15:37
  I'm sure the teacher has this messed up version of, of, of
• 15:40
  scoring. He got a whole 50, but he called
• 15:42
  us. He was fairly impressed.
• 15:44
  We called him, he called him on you.
• 15:46
  He stopped calling him on your 50 because he got that score
• 15:49
  right. He read a book.
• 15:51
  He's a young kid, You read a book, a Cliff Notes books, and
• 15:53
  he decided to go to the library and get the full 600 page book
• 15:57
  because he wants to be, you know, a millionaire.
• 15:59
  He wants to be king. He thinks he's doing great, but
• 16:02
  you have 1 he wants to be one for exactly.
• 16:04
  But you have to tell him that's great.
• 16:06
  It's great, but you need to tell them where he's flowed.
• 16:08
  You need to tell them at times you need to get over to relate
• 16:11
  to your kids and your grandkids, whatever where they're lacking.
• 16:14
  Very delicate Shima delicate, but it has to be points to them.
• 16:25
  I got the idea so this. Is an area that is not
• 16:38
  addressing. This is an area that is not
• 16:40
  addressed today. If you think about this, I
• 16:42
  didn't realize this page 450 is not 2026 officially because
• 16:49
  according to 2026, according to this year, according to this day
• 16:52
  and age, all people need to be told all day long is the pat on
• 16:56
  the back. You're doing great.
• 16:58
  Keep going, keep rolling. Imagine you have an employee.
• 17:01
  I'm so sick of it, right? This is the age, right?
• 17:06
  This is the age and every person who was raised in a different
• 17:09
  age and seeing if they have sauce but yeah, but but.
• 17:12
  You know what you know, I feel like I'm.
• 17:14
  Telling my kids that because because life is hard, just keep
• 17:18
  going. It's going to be hard.
• 17:19
  Just keep going. You do.
• 17:21
  Just the push. So that's, I think that's the
• 17:23
  first reason that comes to my. Yes.
• 17:25
  So that's a very fairpoint, an extremely important point.
• 17:28
  The big difference is the let's go through soil.
• 17:31
  Ready, Steve. Is this a flaky generation?
• 17:34
  Yeah, there you are a flaky generation.
• 17:38
  No flakes. We is, is the is a nice thing,
• 17:41
  right. We're very flaky.
• 17:43
  The reason we're flaky, there's a lot of breakdowns.
• 17:45
  There's I'm sure there's science on this, but the reason why
• 17:47
  flaky is because we're very insecure.
• 17:49
  Part of the reason people are very insecure is because there's
• 17:51
  so much that's spoken about. There's so much publicity and
• 17:55
  you think publicity makes you more well known or makes you
• 17:57
  more part of the scene. It just makes you more azit and
• 18:00
  more azit and more azit. Either if you're part of the
• 18:02
  publicity or if you're ignored by the publicity.
• 18:05
  Either way, you feel weak. Therefore, you need to pat on
• 18:09
  the back. Let's be very clear.
• 18:11
  Your home needs to be a very happy place.
• 18:14
  Your home needs to be very confident place.
• 18:16
  It needs to be a very secure place.
• 18:18
  It needs to be a place where everyone feels like $1,000,000.
• 18:21
  All that is correct. However, and I've seen this many
• 18:25
  times, if you do this the wrong one, which means if your home is
• 18:29
  a very confident place, a very secure place, all beautiful
• 18:32
  things full of self esteem, then you start, you know, spilling
• 18:36
  into this. When someone ever insults your
• 18:39
  kids, you tell them those people are crazy.
• 18:41
  They're the worst. I have family, don't you know,
• 18:43
  I, I went to school with his father.
• 18:45
  It's the same thing. And then you started doing
• 18:47
  right. This is all the wiring.
• 18:49
  And then you're building officially the self-confidence
• 18:51
  over here, but you're destroying the people around and now you're
• 18:54
  moving to bloated zone. Now you're moving to hollow
• 18:57
  zone. Now you're moving to no one can
• 18:59
  ever do anything wrong in our home zone.
• 19:02
  And that leads to a very dangerous existence.
• 19:05
  And that is a guy can be flawed from here to tomorrow.
• 19:09
  He doesn't know that flaws exist. self-confidence is great,
• 19:13
  hollow existence terrible. So even though we live in this
• 19:17
  day and age, and yes, it's a flaky world.
• 19:19
  And part of that is because it's so much out that we have to deal
• 19:21
  with. And they'll be going to build
• 19:23
  your children up and build yourself up.
• 19:24
  And you want your wife to give you encouragement, you want your
• 19:27
  parents to give you encouragement.
• 19:29
  You want to be there for your children.
• 19:30
  You want your rabbi to tell you you're the greatest thing to
• 19:32
  sliced bread. You want no rabbi to ever get up
• 19:35
  there in a speech and ever say anything wrong about people.
• 19:37
  Oh, that's correct. But there's a risk.
• 19:40
  And that risk is, like I said, that risk is hallowed existence,
• 19:46
  not knowing I make any mistakes. And then I'm just, you know, I
• 19:51
  know many people out there to be honest to you.
• 19:53
  I know many people out there who make clear very present mistakes
• 19:59
  and they have no idea. They're making some life
• 20:02
  decisions that are the worst and nobody told them and only have
• 20:06
  yes people around them and that's it.
• 20:08
  There were disaster in their outcomes but no one informed
• 20:12
  them and they're going to find out later.
• 20:14
  And it's only because they have never recognized I can make a
• 20:18
  mistake, I can be flawed. Let my wife tell me I made a
• 20:22
  mistake, it's OK and it's all good.
• 20:25
  I had flat out. My wife told me a couple of days
• 20:27
  ago you just did something that was off.
• 20:31
  She told me honestly, she told me a dad dad don't do that movie
• 20:34
  wife will tell you right. You know it's the greatest thing
• 20:38
  is again tell them that's that all the all the reasons you
• 20:41
  can't tell the no by the way on 0 by the way, talk about the
• 20:45
  workaround. They can't handle it.
• 20:46
  My wife was always telling me what to do.
• 20:48
  What she says. You're always telling me what to
• 20:51
  do Sabbath. And I'm just making you figured
• 20:55
  it out. All right.
• 20:56
  You figured it out what to do. You did a lot and you figured it
• 21:00
  out. That is the notion.
• 21:02
  Yeah, But you treat the matter is even once in a while.
• 21:04
  This is a very delicate area. Once in a while, the spouse is
• 21:07
  the all gets better when you get cobble up.
• 21:11
  A spouse is not the spouse to Floyd.
• 21:13
  And if it's done correctly and it's done well, if it's done the
• 21:16
  right way, it is the greatest thing a person can have.
• 21:19
  I've told you this many times. All my a lot of my career shifts
• 21:24
  and different things have come from my wife telling me, I don't
• 21:26
  know why you're doing what you're doing.
• 21:28
  There's no purpose in that. I'm not going to like putting
• 21:30
  me. I just invested much intention.
• 21:32
  I just invested so much into this.
• 21:33
  You, you literally telling me I just wasted all that effort and
• 21:36
  she'll say it. It feels very, it's a very big
• 21:40
  pill to swallow, but it gets you on the right track.
• 21:44
  Parents do it to their children. I can't tell.
• 21:46
  My father would call me up. He never ever told me a mistake,
• 21:49
  but he would call me up and say, I, I think, you know, give me a
• 21:51
  way. I'll do a different track.
• 21:54
  It's the greatest thing you can have.
• 21:55
  But what that needs is an opening to hear a flaw.
• 22:00
  Are you willing to hear your flaw?
• 22:02
  It's as simple as that. If you're not and you're in for
• 22:06
  if you're not willing to notice your mistakes without ways I was
• 22:09
  telling you sure how you don't have who you getting.
• 22:13
  You can't be how who in what fashion.
• 22:18
  Regarding what I've often told people I don't want to hear if
• 22:22
  you thought up. I don't want to hear someone
• 22:25
  tell me that my life is the wrong life.
• 22:28
  I don't want to be told that I'm living something off.
• 22:31
  You tell me a tweak, I'll take a tweak.
• 22:33
  You tell me I should switch this.
• 22:35
  I'll switch a small thing. Don't tell me that I'm living in
• 22:38
  the wrong city or don't tell me that I'm learning the wrong
• 22:41
  thing, why I'm wasting my day and stuff like that.
• 22:43
  Too hard for me to swallow. I can't handle it.
• 22:45
  Give me a small tweak. That's me.
• 22:47
  Everyone's different, but you need to be OK here.
• 22:51
  But different people. Are wired different.
• 22:54
  They need different things. So what it might be right for
• 22:56
  one person may not be. Right.
• 22:59
  The guy went into the wrong business.
• 23:00
  He's asking a rabbi as an opportunity to, he has a off
• 23:04
  ramp as they call it, his opportunity to switch
• 23:06
  businesses. Some major comment, but it might
• 23:09
  be at that time the right comment, which is say, you know,
• 23:12
  maybe stick that other one. Or take someone who has the
• 23:14
  strong personality and and they they telling someone who doesn't
• 23:17
  you have to be tough for you because he's stronger.
• 23:18
  But that person when he tries that take someone with a with a
• 23:21
  very strong. Personality.
• 23:23
  And he's telling someone, maybe with a, you know.
• 23:27
  Less strong be. Tougher be tougher, but that
• 23:29
  doesn't work for. That yes, it's a major one too.
• 23:32
  You could tell someone that they up there Florida, they're not
• 23:34
  really in Florida. True.
• 23:35
  Absolutely. That's guidance in general
• 23:38
  either. You need to know the entire
• 23:41
  scope of the person before you say a single comet that's
• 23:44
  effective. Any guidance is not effective
• 23:47
  without knowing the scope of the person.
• 23:49
  True, 1000% True and definitely no 1000% I'm sorry, 1000% No
• 23:56
  question about it. If you are telling you, if
• 23:58
  you're adopting this page, if you are informing a person about
• 24:02
  their weaknesses, you better know their strengths.
• 24:04
  You cannot tell them their weaknesses without knowing their
• 24:06
  strengths. You can't even tell them the
• 24:08
  weaknesses without first telling them how great they are and how
• 24:11
  good they're doing in other areas.
• 24:13
  And then you get into a small item that they can absorb on
• 24:16
  their own and they can see for themselves.
• 24:18
  That's the message. We understand that.
• 24:20
  But the theme absolutely is that a person needs to be OK with
• 24:26
  making a mistake. If they're not OK with making a
• 24:28
  mistake and they become the most shallow, hollow, empty,
• 24:34
  arrogant, annoying, uncomfortable existence.
• 24:37
  And that sounds strong. It's a reality because they
• 24:40
  never made a mistake, so they can't see anything wrong.
• 24:42
  And then they keep piling on to their wrong existence.
• 24:46
  That's the theme. And you find people like this
• 24:48
  and you say if only someone could have told them.
• 24:50
  If they only had a mother who could have told them what
• 24:54
  they're doing wrong, right. If they only had a rabbi who was
• 24:57
  a proper Dyer, who really could tell them.
• 24:59
  Yes, I know if they only had a wife who can tell them right
• 25:04
  from wherever it may be, you say to yourself, they would have
• 25:07
  been far better off. Remember, it's, it's, it's
• 25:09
  humiliating. It's not humiliating to be
• 25:12
  guided properly. It's not humiliating to be
• 25:14
  confident in doing what's really good for you.
• 25:17
  That's the point. That's the thing about real and
• 25:19
  moral stuff. You're right.
• 25:20
  I'd like to have somebody that you can confide in.
• 25:22
  You know, anybody needs that and be open to when they tell you, I
• 25:26
  don't think it's a good idea for you.
• 25:27
  Well, I don't think you're doing it right.
• 25:29
  Have you ever had a, you know, big dispute and you went to a
• 25:33
  good close friend and they told you maybe the other guys right
• 25:37
  ever had that? Yeah, sure, you need that.
• 25:39
  You need that. You need to have that dispute
• 25:41
  and then go to your friend. But it wouldn't happen today.
• 25:44
  Today would not happen today. Well, but.
• 25:46
  Even with those same. People.
• 25:48
  The world. Became a more non convocational
• 25:53
  I I don't even know people are that invested yes you know they
• 25:57
  hear you but they're not listening all.
• 25:59
  Right, You call a person, you can fight in them something
• 26:02
  that's going on. Will they tell you the other
• 26:04
  side of the coin? Will they tell you the other
• 26:06
  person's point of view? Not really.
• 26:08
  Not often. Very often they just saying yes,
• 26:11
  yes, yes. And he should do this and he
• 26:13
  should be stronger and don't back down.
• 26:15
  All that nice stuff. And what are they creating?
• 26:17
  Arrogance. How low is built as he says?
• 26:21
  I read you a couple more lines, then we'll stop this page.
• 26:23
  Vizemma. Should we should not be
• 26:25
  invented? This is what's fit for a person
• 26:28
  to understand and realizing the truth.
• 26:30
  Veloya zua a Leno de beno chinam do not outlet your mind, deviate
• 26:37
  from this approach. L and IKEA recognized shed a
• 26:40
  teno kala. Our minds are light, are weak
• 26:43
  with sakleno khalaj and mold. And I would say who is not
• 26:46
  perfect Hazludra. There's a lot of dumbness around
• 26:50
  a lot of people making silly mistakes that told Covet and how
• 26:54
  many mistakes have we made by Shenidauto?
• 26:57
  And once you are honest with this point and no, even the
• 27:02
  flaws that you made, the right flaws that you've recognized,
• 27:06
  there are a lot more of that came from and Ken Vardai based
• 27:10
  on this, this is the main point. There is no place, there is zero
• 27:17
  place for one person to carry himself in a fashion that he's
• 27:22
  bigger than anybody else. There's nothing there.
• 27:24
  And this is something that's so ignored, it's unbelievable.
• 27:27
  This is something that's a guy feels good about himself because
• 27:30
  he made a lot of money or he gave a lot of charity, or he
• 27:33
  gave a big speech, or he's a big deal or he learns a lot or he
• 27:37
  has a beautiful home or he has good kids.
• 27:40
  And you can tell that person, any one of them, you can tell
• 27:42
  them you gave a good speech. God gave you a talent.
• 27:45
  Tell me where that makes you a big person.
• 27:47
  You learn a lot. You put in the right position.
• 27:49
  You have good teachers and your parents and you have good
• 27:51
  support. But you don't have to give it
• 27:52
  yourself. Understood.
• 27:54
  But you don't need to think of yourself in this fake fashion.
• 27:57
  You made a lot of money. We all know where money comes
• 28:00
  from. Because I want to hide.
• 28:01
  So thank you, Hashem. I move on.
• 28:03
  Thank you, Hashem. Thank you, Hashem.
• 28:05
  Right. You have good kids.
• 28:06
  You have good kids. Exactly.
• 28:08
  You have good kids. I'm a Brooke.
• 28:10
  I'm very impressed. I'm very.
• 28:11
  I'm very happy for you. You have good kids.
• 28:14
  Credit your wife, but don't think that even your wife did
• 28:17
  it. It's all gosh, it's all so many
• 28:20
  factors. It could have had one bad friend
• 28:22
  and it would have been a different story.
• 28:23
  It could have been A1 bad class with a 0 teacher, could have
• 28:26
  been in the wrong school at the wrong time.
• 28:28
  They could have been in the wrong generation.
• 28:30
  They could have had the wrong vice.
• 28:32
  You name it, it's there. And every parent that has good
• 28:34
  choice and knows that it's not them unless they have their own
• 28:38
  wiring, unless they have the wiring, we're guessing right
• 28:40
  here, they can't see their flaws, right?
• 28:43
  Someone told me let's. Say they don't.
• 28:44
  Let's say. Really, when it comes to
• 28:46
  parenting, it seems like they don't have flaws.
• 28:49
  There's no such thing, No, no, it seems, I said.
• 28:52
  Yeah. OK.
• 28:52
  So it looks like they're the perfect family, right?
• 28:56
  And the kids come out aesthetically looking like that.
• 28:59
  So it's very tricky at that point for the father, mother at
• 29:04
  the older years of people telling him how you kids, you
• 29:06
  kids, you get kids, you know, and then they tell you all
• 29:08
  because of good parents, because of good parents.
• 29:12
  Yeah, well, that's why they need.
• 29:13
  That's exactly why they need to review this page.
• 29:15
  Because this page will tell them it's only because you're looking
• 29:19
  at it blindly. You're not recognizing where
• 29:21
  this could have gone wrong. And now I could have gone red.
• 29:23
  The rest after giving them Rod Rabbi.
• 29:25
  Right. Exactly.
• 29:26
  Hastening here, not giving them the wrong friends.
• 29:29
  Yeah, 1000%. He went to, he went to, he went
• 29:33
  to an out of town camp. How many bad things can happen
• 29:36
  out of town camp and how many good things can happen out of
• 29:38
  town camp? He went to Who knows exactly?
• 29:42
  I I went to yeshiv in a dorm, right?
• 29:45
  Seven years. I cannot tell you what options
• 29:49
  were on the table in a good yeshiva, right.
• 29:51
  Good yeshiva. What, you know what guys are
• 29:54
  taking cars to what places, right?
• 29:56
  I haven't even had a illegal car in this year for a while.
• 29:59
  I bought some random car. That's that's OK.
• 30:02
  It's best statue of limitations. They're always not going to get
• 30:04
  me anymore. The boy is.
• 30:06
  Is that. Yeah.
• 30:07
  Well, these things, honestly, my parents knew how to call, right?
• 30:10
  These are just the ways these things are.
• 30:12
  This is how the wire works to stop and say we're floored.
• 30:16
  We're great people, but we have areas that need to recognize
• 30:19
  reality. And then you're normal healthy
• 30:23
  for that type.
