0:02 all right good evening everyone Let's uh let's begin so tonight is our pre here so what I'd like to try to do over the course of the little bit of time that we have with each other is try to frame 0:16 our experience for this Y what we're trying to accomplish what we're trying to do and of course you can't really capture the entir of of any y just in in one she every Y and especially R is so multi-dimensional there 0:31 are so many facets so many aspects so many Dynamics is rashash a day of fear is rashash a day of joy is rashash a day we should look forward to is rash a day that we should be trembling for and 0:42 of course the answer to all of these questions is yes and no rash has tremendous elements of fear it's a there's a Mitzvah of on rash right as much as we spend a long time in sh but at the end 0:54 of the day we also go home and have a celebratory meal there is an element of feeling of confidence that EX on this but yet a profound recognition as the says that that the entire world comes before the entire world 1:12 remember rash is not just for Jewish people rash is for all humanity is for all of creation and literally decides who is going to live who is going to die who in their appointed time who not in their appointed time 1:31 who is going to thrive and who is going to suffer and again everything we read about in of course is the fundamental reality yet with all of this there is a profound sense of sim profound sense of Joy because as 1:44 we've spoken about the God who is judging us is Aon who loves us so tremendously but I'd like to focus on one specific area of rashash tonight which is the chauffeur the meaning of the chauffeur the power of the chauffeur 1:59 and the message of theau you know I often find that during especially true on but especially on as well is we feel moved you can't not be moved by the sound of the chauffeur but some you could be moved but 2:14 I'm not exactly sure what I'm moved to what I'm moved from and where I'm moved to what am I supposed to do how am I supposed to react what do I do with these particular colos and how do they transform 2:27 me and Propel me in a different life directions take a look at number one says so amazingly enough this is the that seeks out right the entire discussion that t has regarding rash is exactly this on the seventh month which 2:49 is on the first of the month M it'll be a a holy convocation you can't do any you can't do any work it will be a day day of Tua for you what's by the way this that's it that's it 3:05 that's the entire entire discussion about asash nothing about judgment nothing about the king nothing about The Throne nothing about all the Torah tells me is y everything else that we have about rashash about rash being a day of judgment about 3:22 again all the different elements that we spoke about before come from the G come from come from the commentaries if you want to know what the T says about you have it there it is there's a couple more talk about 3:36 the carbos the sacrificial offerings that are offered but in terms of what the day is the Torah identifies simply as AA and by the way of course you know even that phrase itself is shrouded in so much ambiguity what is 3:50 a trua what is a trua is a trua a is it a is it is it is it a is it so we don't even know exactly what sound of Tua is so therefore because we don't even know what it 4:02 is we sound 100 sounds 100 sounds remember again on a Biblical level all you really have to do our nine sounds right you have to do tra tra te nine times Well three times three three sounds three times a total 4:17 of nine sounds but because there's so much ambiguity as to what is a tra is it TR what we call a tra right or is a tra or is a TR AAR and tra so again is the tra blown in 4:32 one breath two breaths so because there's all this ambiguity therefore we do all of it we want to satisfy all the opinions and that leads us ultimately again to the blowing of 100 Kos 100 Kos 100 sounds but this is 4:44 it which tells us something amazing if this is the way that the Torah identifies this day that rash is a y what that tells us is that anything and everything we need to be successful on this day ultimately again could 4:57 be understood in the chauffeur dynamic of the day the entirety of rash could somehow be captured in the essence of the Chau so what is the essence of the chauffer so writes says even though why do we blow right why 5:24 why because says theer say below the chauffeur that's it that's it that that that's why we do it says the reason we do chauffeur like the reason we do any other Mitzvah is tells us to do it but nevertheless the 5:41 says there is a profound metaphor in body what's the metaphor of awake sleepy ones from your sleep and slumbering ones from your slumber introspect and remember your creator so understands essentially that what is chauffeur chauffeur is a spiritual alarm clock 6:10 show right we go through life sleeping we go through life asleep at the wheel we go through life slumbering right some of us are just in a light sleep some of us are in a deep sleep some of us is 6:21 just sleeping for a couple of hours some of us have been sleep for a couple of decades some of us are just sleeping normally and others have been hibernating for 4 years but the reality is the nature of the condition 6:33 of mankind is we are all asleep to some degree says comes the chauffeur and the chauffeur jars us awake the chauffeur wakes us up wake up wake up but what do you do when you wake up introspect analyze introspect about 6:53 your actions remember you're creator we often lose sight of the truth just because we get caught up in life remember again the reason we make mistakes we're we're all good people we're all very good people we're all very righteous people 7:12 so if we're so righteous why do we make mistakes because you fall asleep at the wheel we just kind of get caught up in in the different realities of life and we just we lose our way we lose our Focus 7:22 we lose our Direction and therefore he get you go skip a little bit goes on says therefore therefore a person should always view themselves as half guilty and half innocent or half righteous and half not righteous in other words the 7:44 metaphor that this from the gimar is that a person is supposed to view themselves and view life like a set of scales what do my scales look like in any given moment what do they look like what do they look 7:53 like they're even now that's good news right that's that's a good right I was nervous right they're even but what happens when the scales are even any one action tilts the scales in a different direction so one aom tilt the 8:09 scale in the direction of a one mitv could go and tilt the scales says what is true for us as individuals is also true on a global level the world as a whole also has even scales and so when I 8:21 do something in my life not only doesn't impact my scales but it impacts Global scales as well in other words what is trying to highlight is we often go through life thinking that we don't matter or that what we do 8:36 doesn't matter and so okay whatever I'm going to allow myself to do certain things because hey what's the big deal who am I hurting except me well first of all hurting yourself is a big deal in and of itself but 8:46 it's not just you it's not just you our actions have Cosmic ramifications our actions have dramatic implications repercussions and ramifications and the ra says here's the problem that all too often in life we fall asleep we just fall asleep again 9:03 what's beautifully validating about this is we often assume that the reason we commit a is because we're bad we're not bad we're just very tired we're just very tired and often just snoozing our way through life you know Dr abrah 9:20 tski it is a very I don't remember which book he was in but he had a very cute piece he's talking about the dynamic of people falling asleep during rabbis Jas and he said he can never he can never understand 9:35 I mean okay rabbis could speak for a long time I got it but he said he can he said imagine for a moment he's like you get lost in a bad neighborhood I said you can say this is a little 9:44 bit dated this is before ways and Google Maps you get lost in a bad neighborhood you pull it into a gas station and you ask the attendant you ask the attendant how do I get out of here so says can 9:54 you imagine the attendant is giving you directions and you're like can you you wouldn't KN off why don't you not off because you recognize that like every single word that this person is giving you is necessary maybe it's life or 10:10 death maybe it's just but but I need it and you're hanging on to every wordi said if we recognized that the words of Torah are really lifesaving directions then we wouldn't fall asleep we wouldn't leave early we wouldn't do this 10:25 we wouldn't do that because we recognize that whatever it is and even if it's not packaged in the best way there's something in here that I need in order to live my life I can't run out I can't fall asleep 10:38 I need this but just the nature of the human condition is we fall asleep even though it's really important and even though it's really necessary and even though again I need the instructions and my life actions matter we fall asleep 10:50 at the wheel of Life the says chur is the spiritual alarm clock it's what says the chauffeur doesn't tell you to stop sinning the chauffer doesn't even tell you to start doing CH that's not the first message the shauer says 11:08 wake up wake up because if you don't wake up you can go through life you could go through life Daydream you could go through life half a sleep and miss out on so many beautiful opportunities for self-actualization for growth for 11:25 accomplishment and you never even realize oh oh I I had that opportunity that did that just happen I I I I I I didn't even realize it and we don't even we're cognizant of all the opportunities we miss you know 11:36 what the incredible reality is there are so many more opportunities that we're not even cognizant of that we missed because too often we're just asleep and therefore says the chauffer comes along shauer comes along and says just wake up let's 11:49 let's start let's start by waking up because at least if I'm awake then what could I do I could look at my actions I could introspect I could remind myself that what I do or don't do has dramatic ramifications and 12:03 implications not just for me but for the world as a home the dynamic of theau says the wake up wake up stop slumbering through life you know it's interesting and I I I I could tell I'm getting old in many 12:24 ways but one of the ways I can tell I'm getting old one of the things that drives me crazy crazy is when you hear or when you see maybe there are people related to me or not related to me who 12:36 sleep late who sleep late sleep late a person sleeps till 10:00 in the morning till 11:00 in the morning all right if you're going to sleep at 4:00 in the morning that's one thing but H how how does a person 12:51 even allow that for themselves like is isn't there a piece of me isn't there a piece of of me that's like my my isas are churning like like like light life is flying by I don't know how much time I 13:04 have here on this Earth I I don't know what amount of time I have to accomplish every moment again doesn't mean that a person shouldn't sleep we should all get enough sleep we should take care of our health of course 13:14 but there's this idea there's this idea that like it's okay to sleep and of course it's okay to sleep it's just not okay to sleep too much because if you habituate yourself to sleeping too much then that becomes the way 13:30 I live my life and if that becomes the way I live my life again it's not AA it's worse than AA you know an AA what's the good part of an AA you're like ah what's the good part of an 13:41 AA huh where do I start right the the the good part of an AA is I know it's an AA I know what I did wrong and I know what I have to fix being being hibernating through life being asleep 13:53 throughout life is terrible because you look at it are you doing anything wrong doing anything wrong no it's not I'm just missing out on life itself so at least I know it's bad I know what I have to correct sleeping 14:06 through life I could justify as I'm just really tired I'm just really tired I just need a lot of sleep a lot of Life sleep and so the says the shauer comes along and says you got to wake up you 14:18 got to wake up you have to live life you have to introspect what are you doing how are you living where are you going what's your plan how do you want to maximize what has given you and yes how do 14:29 you want to fix the stuff that's broken so he's very intrigued by this idea of waking up and how the ra really say just you understand so now if we kind of take this back so all the Torah tells us 14:41 about rashash is waking up right there's no other discussion by rashash there's no mention of CHA there's no mention of judgment none of that stuff comes up so that tells you that the only Dynamic of rash is CH which tells 14:54 you on a very basic level that what is the entire a of rash the entire he's waking up that's it that's why you'll notice again there's no there's no there's no there's no confession there's no confession right there's not even 15:16 whether not want you say that and even those who say some take out the phrase It's fascinating right my father my king I've sinned before you the general custom is we keep it in but take it out because that's not 15:31 that's that's but that's so if if rash is not right so we like to say what's coronating God coronating God I don't know not not that anyone really knows what that means actually to to carnate God sounds beautiful they Count 15:48 Me In but what what what what exactly does that mean we we'll come back to that but is a day or two days to wake up to wake up I don't want to sleep through life I don't want to Slumber 16:04 through existence you know you when you have everyone has that day that moment where you realize how much time has gone by and it's a little bit depressing because I recognize it's not like an age thing but it's a recognition 16:19 that I could know with absolute certainty I did not maximize my time and I cannot get that back soash is the day the rash that's all Torah says nothing about carting God nothing about sh nothing this it's a day of 16:33 chaur what do you do with the chaur I wake myself up it's time to stop sleeping and it's time to start thinking who am I what have I done what haven't I done who do I want to be introspection do 16:47 I need chva don't I need chva how do I do Chua what's my plan so what's fascinating about this waking up Dynamic is we find it elsewhere take a look at number three the writes and this is the first this 17:06 is first get up in the morning like a lion to serve get up in the morning like a lion to serve I should awaken the Dawn and the dawn shouldn't awaken me the first don't over sleep don't sleep in don't 17:35 Slumber get up in the morning to go ahead and serve you wake up the dawn don't let the dawn wake you up in I sh with you a little piece over here the has an incredible and beautiful interpretation now he's 17:52 commenting on this but I think we could take his idea and apply to as well so by I'm in Source number four now right by by the sometimes we introspect we look inside ourselves and I realize that I am so 18:15 distant from no we've all had this feeling I take I wake up I introspect I look inside and the truth is I'm not fully happy with what I find and I realize that I'm so distant from and I'm filled with 18:33 sin I'm filled with sin and I'm so far from anything good so says something so incredibly beautiful what do you do in that moment of introspection I'm having a moment of real I look inside myself and I'm so unhappy with 18:59 what I found I feel like I found sin I found stuff that's broken I found a bunch of I found all different kinds of things and I'm so profoundly unhappy with what I found so this is incred what should you 19:14 do what should you do in that moment look for something positive about yourself okay you found you found all the broken stuff found all the bad stuff now look for something positive so you find something good I find something good 19:31 about myself and then when I begin to look at what that good thing is what do I find what do I find that even my good is flawed even my good is flawed even the things that I've done the mitz 19:43 right the the the that I've done it's also faulty so not only do I have a whole bunch of negative stuff but even the good that I possess is not really good the good that I possess is hollowed out it's 19:56 also flawed the says okay so search further in in that Mitzvah that you did even if the Mitzvah as a whole Is Not Great Is there something in that Mitzvah that's pure can you pull out one spark of complete K 20:18 can you find one element of that Mitzvah that was absolutely pure and good he goes on so this piece is one of the most famous pieces and what the Reb here highlights is a dramatic approach to life when you introspect 20:42 and you find negative things about yourself so often conventional wisdom is oh you find negative stuff what should you do what should you do see all too often we think that the litness test of a good Jew is how miserable 20:57 you are right in other words that the more the more upset I am at myself for What I've Done Right and the angrier I am at myself for what I've done and the more just I feel the horrendous burden of 21:09 my mistakes Ah that's a yid right that's no that's depression that's that's not that's not the Reb is describing over here something amazing the re saying when you find something broken inside yourself you have to fix what's broken but in 21:22 order to fix that which is broken you have to have confidence in yourself you see if I find stuff inside me that's in a state of disrepair and now came my Aus to fix it but if I'm going to fix 21:36 it I have to believe that I have the power to fix it so where do I find the ability to believe in myself that I could fix that which is broken andits it's by finding the good identify good things in 21:51 yourself because if I could identify good things in myself that means that what I have the tools to write the wrongs I have the tools to fix that which is broken it's a fundamentally opposite way of thinking that when you 22:09 encounter challenge difficulty broken kite inside of yourself the a is not to dwell on that the I'm going to come back to that push the pause button on that and now I have to find the good what's good inside of 22:23 me what's working inside of me and the moment you find that good and you recognize it my gosh okay I've got a lot of problems but I've also got a lot of stuff that's great the finding of the beauty the 22:36 finding of the goodness the finding of the K that's what gives me the confidence to be able to repair that which is broken do you know why at the end of the day most of us never become real B we 22:51 become like like for lack of a better term like like lipstick Bal right the lipstick right other words see you put a little bit lipstick and it looks looks nice great fine it's fine right whatever whatever the rest of the 23:06 outfit B it looks nice I'm I'm a lipstick B I figured that would be good metaphor for this year good I'm a lipstick B that's it why why is it that we never get traction deep down it's because I don't 23:21 really believe that I could change I don't really believe that I could actually fix the stuff that's broken inside of me especially many of us have stuff have stuff that's been broken for years some of us even decades and if 23:38 I haven't fixed it by now come on I'm not really going to fix it and that's why the rebba says the first step to Cha is believing in yourself and the way you believe in yourself is not by focusing on 23:49 that which is broken but it's focusing on that which is positive again not ignoring the negative we're going to come back to the negative we're we have to fix all that stuff but to fix it you have to believe in 23:58 yourself yourself and to believe in yourself you have to be able to see your good because when you see your good you recognize okay I'm I'm good I I could do great things I can accomplish beautiful things I can create 24:09 incredible realities for myself for my family for my community for my world I have tools at my disposal and if I have tools at my disposal that means that I can make a difference look what the Reb says look skip 24:22 down a little bit to paragraph B still in s number four he says this is beautiful this idea of looking inside yourself and finding something positive in this is referred to as waking up waking up says when I feel so 24:46 down on myself and all I see are myos that's called sleep that's called sleep right all I see is the negative all I see that which is broken and I don't feel any hope that I could pull myself out of 25:01 this that is being in a state of Slumber remember like say sleep is 160th of death death is Ultimate paralysis you can't do anything when a person all they see is their negativity and all they see are their false and 25:18 all they see is what's broken that's like when just like when you're SLE asleep you are inactive you can't do anything when a person solely focuses on the negative that they've done the negative they possess that's a state of Slumber 25:43 and when you find something good about yourself and you get yourself excited about you you get yourself excited about who you are and what you are and the tools you have to accomplish great things that's called Awakening so the state 25:59 of sleep is when all you're focused on is what's broken inside of you all you're focused on is what in the state of disrepair and when when you fall we've all we've all had that state of of sleep fullness of 26:09 Slumber it's paralyzing it's paralyzing because when I do my inventory of AOS right they're steep they're significant and they've been around for a long time and if that's what I'm goinging on it's totally paralyzing that's sleep but then when I 26:23 switch gears and focus on the positive that I have the positive that I've done a good track record that I really do possess to accomplish great things that Awakening that Awakening shakes me out of the Slumber of paralysis and reminds 26:38 me that if I have accomplished great things in the past I can continue to accomplish great things in the future in Source number five this is so beautiful comments on this so he says I literally again I laid down and 26:54 I fell asleep and then I woke W up because hasem supported me and look says something so incredibly beautiful says what is talking about is saying that sometimes when I did a personal inventory sometimes I introspected I looked at myself 27:18 I looked at my life and says I so down on myself I was so disappointed in myself and I felt like such a profound life failure that's and I laid down I laid down means I dwell on the negative parts 27:34 of my Persona and I fell asleep I was paralyzed I was paralyzed but then RAB says something amazing he says but then I was able to wake up why supports me says something so beautiful says is not external God but 27:54 internal God R says Hashem in this context as a reference to the good that I possess within I found my inner goodness I found my inner beauty I found my inner K and I was able to wake myself up look 28:11 at the second paragraph in number six a person is not allowed to fall into the clutches of Despair don't allow yourself to fall asleep with despair don't allow yourself to fall into the Slumber of despondency don't judge yourself only by 28:35 your failures and be rendered immobile to affect change rather he says I have to wake myself up in life I am not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me there's good in me and that's not just like 28:57 an inspirational idea I could I could tell you I could point out the good things I've done I could point out the good things I've accomplished I could point out the beautiful things that I have changed in my life I 29:09 have a good track record I have successes I have the tools to affect change in life and I need not be rendered immobile by the Slumber created by my failures goes on so it comes out of this I I don't 29:28 know for me this is like a this is a life-altering piece because I I I I think I think too often too often we find ourselves hovering in a Judaism and in a yish kite that is heavily laced with guilt 29:45 and it's all about guilt now guilt guilt is important right because if you don't feel guilt for anything then you're not fully cognizant of what you're doing so a feeling of guilt is very important the question is do you live 29:57 with perpetual guilt Perpetual guilt generally is paralyzing and immobilizing there's a place for Guilt but it has its space and it's not everywhere so says something amazing what now again so remember he's commenting on the so what is the saying 30:13 and this is incredible so what do you have to do every single morning what do you have to do every single morning so let let's go back for just a second go back now to number three I'm giving you right 30:20 RAB is giving us a brand new insight into this so what's the what's what's the it's interesting right what's the first wake up wake up wake up wake up don't spend your life sleeping the first this is incredible what do 30:46 you have to do when you wake up in the morning what do you have to wake up in the morning what do you do so we generally say and what do thank giving me back my soul great compassion great gift 31:03 great is your faithfulness your faith what means great is your faith in me if hasem gives me another day of life that means I have something to accomplish if I if I if I if I'm just taking up space this 31:17 doesn't need to give me life if he's giving me life that means there's something for me to accomplish so therefore again says the first thing you do every single morning is Wake yourself up the first thing Aid does every single 31:31 morning is say I'm great I'm great I have a lot of work I have a lot of things I have to correct but I have a lot of good inside of me and with that good I could accomplish more good 31:41 and with that good I know I have the tools to go ahead and fix that which is broken that's how you start the day you wake yourself up out of the Slumber of failure it is easy to sleep late it's 31:56 easy to sleep away day days and weeks and months and years why because I feel so immobilized and so paralyzed and so helpless and sometimes even like disgusted at myself by the wrong moves the wrong decisions that I have made 32:12 and where does that get you absolutely nowhere spending a lifetime wallowing in guilt and despair so do say no no that's not what we do that's not what we do how what what does a get off and get get up 32:28 strong and get up fast and you wake up the dawn don't let the dawn wake up you shake yourself out of the Slumber of guilt and remind yourself of your good because not ignoring your guilt when you remind yourself of 32:41 your good you will recognize you have the tools to affect dramatic change in life that says RAB is the first and I show something amazing if you take a look at number seven right we get a little bit ahead of 32:55 ourselves buter GI read sa for yon sa for y right one of the most incredible parts of sa for Yona is what's happening you know the story y's on the boat run he's running away from he gets on the boat 33:07 right there's a violent storm a violent storm and what happens so The N he saysa the great storm the sailors saw it and the sailors started praying to their gods so what happened what did yon do this is the end 33:24 of Y laid down he fell into a deep sleep and again even if you don't get motion sickness right if that if that boat is being thrown one side to the other how how do you even fall asleep and it's 33:37 very simple when you understand what's happening with yonah yonah was disgusted with himself he was upset for a whole variety of reasons he felt like a failed Prophet CL didn't listen to him he's running away fromes he's just he's just 33:53 he's just upset he's disappointed he's disillusioned with himself so what does he do he falls into a deep sleep because that's what happens when all you see about yourself is the negativity and all you see about yourself are the shortcomings 34:09 and the faults and the failures that leads you to one thing immobilizing Slumber so y know who is running away from God running away from Cloudy swell running away from himself just goes down to the bottom of the boat and 34:22 just falls asleep and now let's bring this full circle so now it turns out that perhaps this is the added dimension of chur of R right the r said the ra said that the entire rash is the Chau that's the 34:37 entire rash and according to the ra it's a spiritual alarm clock because I'm sleeping my way through life Shau wakes me up and what what should I do when I wake up I should introspect look at my deeds and recognize 34:48 that I matter perhaps there's another element of Shar as well which is that the aod of Chau is to get us to wake up but to wake wake up and to see our good to wake up and to see that 35:02 which is positive to wake up and to see our right how many of us take inventory of our accomplishments of our good not to ignore our Aus or our misdeeds no of course I have to get to that but there's 35:16 a time to get to that there's a time in place for real introspection on our misdeeds and Aus but how many of us actually take the time to actually look do an inventory what did I do right this year what 35:31 did I do right what went well what are the good meos I possess what makes me a good person what makes me a good child a good spouse a good friend a good Jew and to take an inventory right everybody 35:44 has their journals about what they do wrong but it's also good to have a journal about what you do right and that RAB says is the entire AV of rash is to awaken ourselves to see the good within ourselves that's 35:57 why has no no because that's not our job on this day there's a different job we're going to get to that but in order to you have to understand in order to do real Cha you have to believe that you 36:13 have the tools to change and in order to believe that you have the tools to change you have to be you have to believe you have to see the good that you've done cuz if I haven't done any good then 36:26 I'm a bad person I'm a bad person that I don't have the tools to change and if I don't have the tools to change then cha is an exercising futility and if CH is an exercise in futility sure I'll show 36:37 up I'll do the lip service right I'll fall asleep during the draa right and and and that's it we'll just move on I'll go through year after year after year after year I think R is telling us deep down the 36:48 reason why a lot of us don't necessarily have an impact for our moving or cathartic Rashana is because we haven't yet figured out how to actually change or better stated we haven't actually come to a point where I believe that 37:04 comprehensive cathartic change is possible but the only way to tell yourself that it's possible is to see your positive track record if I see all the good that means I'm capable I have tools and if I have tools there's no 37:19 telling ultimately again what I could accomplish so it's incredible the same that says which is the way to start our day is the same that we use to start our new year every single morning the is the first thing you 37:39 do before before washing your hands even before right all before the first thing you do is you sit up and say I do not feel awake at all but but I am waking myself up I am starting today by reminding 37:53 myself I am good you don't have to say that loud but I I I I'm good I'm good I'm worthy I accomplished I have what to contribute and yes I have many many many many many mistakes and a that I 38:09 have to rectify but those do not obliterate the incredible and profound good that exists inside of me so I'm starting my day by focusing by waking myself up and focusing on my good I've got the tools to make a difference 38:21 I've got the tools to affect change that's how the that's how the juice starts every day and that's what gives us the m y That's it it's all about the chauffeur it's all about the chauffeur just wake up remind yourself 38:36 of the good tell yourself that you are capable of affecting change and if you could really believe that because you know it sounds simple like you're like oh I could do that in five minutes so that's I can come to 38:45 five minutes or this five minutes and I'm done we know it's not five minutes it's not five minutes it's not even five hours it's days maybe even weeks of real work to actually make yourself believe in your own goodness but 38:57 if you if you could wake yourself up to that reality then there is no telling what I could accomplish I'll just end look what the Tas says and the Tas says something so beautiful the says right says you should wake 39:08 up like a lion so there's a lot written about this because in general like if you ever go to the zoo and you see lions like liing is actually get up like very slowly they're yarning they're stretching like it's not 39:18 like the most fierce waking up that one that one like he doesn't like wake up and start roaring so says what does it mean this is incredible he says what does it mean to wake up like a lion a lion 39:34 doesn't fear anything right the lon is the king of the jungles he doesn't fear anything he says man this is incredible T says you know sometimes I am afraid of my Yar I'm afraid of it I'm afraid of it I 39:53 really am I'm profoundly afraid of myar and I'm afraid that's why so often I'm even afraid like to acknowledge what I've done because I'm afraid that these things that exist inside of me are so powerful so this is incredible so 40:07 the T says what does it mean to get up like a lion a lion fears nothing you know what is saying don't be afraid of your Brokenness don't be afraid of your mistakes don't be afraid of your missteps it's okay 40:22 it's okay we're human we all make mistakes don't be afraid of it but what's the key to not being afraid of your broken kite so remember again says which means get up like a lion get up Fearless get a Fearless 40:36 don't be afraid of your broken kite don't be afraid of your mistakes don't be afraid of all of your life failures but how do you do that the way to be like a lion and not be afraid of your broken 40:52 kite is to wake yourself up out of your Slumber to focus on your good and if you focus on your good you see that you have a track record you have a capability to accomplish great things in life if you 41:04 could focus on your good then you don't have to be afraid of your brok you know if you think about this right we're amongst friends we could be honest for a few moments how much energy and time do we spend 41:15 running away from our broken kite so much time right I know things that are broken inside of me and again I have I got I have a whole I have a whole like thesis about this right the thesis is titled 41:27 it's not my fault right that's how it goes right and then again section one whose fault is it right and we list the dominant characters who messed up my life right and then section two detailed detailed synopsis or detailed analysis 41:41 about how each of those people listed in section one are responsible for all the bad things that happened to me and then in section three why right section three is titled why I never accomplished the things I wanted to accomplish 41:52 C sections 1 and two right and we have this whole thing and it's exhausting cuz we're so afraid to confront our Brokenness and meanwhile the first you know when the lion walks around the lion fears nothing don't be afraid to 42:09 look in the mirror don't be afraid to introspect don't be afraid to confront your Brokenness we all have it just some of us are more broken some of us are less broken but we are all broken don't be afraid to 42:22 confront it that sounds beautiful but I'm scared I don't want to confront some of the things that are broken inside of me so what's the answer wake yourself up wake yourself up focus on your good focus on your beauty focus 42:36 on the fact that since you've accomplished good you have so many Tools in this world to affect change and if you wake yourself up out of the Slumber of sin out of the Slumber of the paralysis that is engendered by 42:48 only focusing on that which is broken if you wake yourself up you focus on the good the good reminds me I have tools I have abilities that engenders a confidence and with that confidence I don't have to be afraid to 43:02 confront my broken kite and this is the a of rash just to wake up not to wake up to our sins to wake up to our positivity to wake up to the beautiful things that we've accomplished to wake up to 43:16 the power that we really possess if I could do that on Rashana that reminds me that I have the tools to affect change if I believe that I have the tools to affect change that gives me the kind confidence to 43:28 face my broken kite and if I could really face the stuff that's broken inside of me then when I do it's not lip service let's fix this let's fix this let's turn it around let's create something different and I'm ready 43:48 I'm ready and I'm confident why I'm I confident I have a whole track record of wonderful positive stuff that I've done I'm like the lion that walks around confident unafraid now that I'm unafraid let's get to work let's fix that 44:02 which is broken let's write that which is wrong and let's pave the way for a beautiful new year we should be to experience a rashash of I would say wokeness but that doesn't that doesn't sound right right to experience to 44:19 experience rashash of wakefulness we should be to shake ourselves out of the Slumber of sin to stop feeling so down on ourselves and to give ourselves a for the good that we've done we should be to feel the incredible and 44:36 beautiful energy and positivity and encouragement and confidence that rashash sh could give us and with that energy and confidence we should be to fix the things that are broken enter into yipper have our slate wiped clean and enter into tough 44:56 shin hey hey ready to become the best version of ourselves
