This clip gives us an insight into the right mindset to become a real Ohev Yisrael.
The Reason we often don't make effective change is because the Yetzer Har gets us to be so busy that we don't have time to just stop and think about our priorities.
All we have to do is start paying attention to the incredible brilliance, beauty, and perfection of this world and we can come to clearly recognize Hashem.
In this clip we get a feel for the fact that those that lived in the time of the Bais Hamikdosh were truly able to grasp its magnitude, and in turn the loss was so powerful to them. However we who grew up without it, unfortunately view life as normal not having a Beis Hamikdosh.
We can not think that having drives towards certain aveiros means that something is wrong with us. That is perfectly normal. This is the way Hashem created us, as having a yetzer hara and overcoming it is an essential part of our purpose in this world.
In order for us to beat out the yetzer hara we need to take a step back from our busy lives a make a cheshbon hanefesh. We need to think about our actions and if we are living up to our potential in this world.
One of the yetzer haras tactics is to come to us with the 'frum yetzer hara', playing on our desire for spiritual growth, convincing us that the aveira at hand will bring us to higher spiritual levels.
The Yetzer Hara uses the power of imagination to build up in our minds the false pleasure of an Aveira.
The Yetzer Hara tends to blind us so that we are convinced of one thing when in reality the complete opposite is true.
The Yetzer Haras gets us to to think if I cant accomplish everything then I can't accomplish anything. Thta's 100% false.
Our job in this world is to live our lives the way Hashem wants us to. To do that properly we need to learn as much Torah which is the wisdom of how Hashem thinks as much as possible.
The neshama is yearning for spirituality a,d the only real freedom in this world from our desires is through a life of Torah
Rabbi Akiva didnt give up, neither should we
Judging others favorably is the source of real shalom, and is the key to prevent machlokes.
How long and hard would you search for something important that you lost? That same time and energy should be invested in coming up with a Limud Zchus for others.
When we experience something negative about another person we have a choice to shift our focus to zero in on their positive qualities.
You can never really judge anyone because you never actually know their full story.
Just by ing things out with our friends we can achieve clarity in the areas we are unsure of
Seeing miracles alone is not enough to bring us to high levels in Emunha. We need to stop, reflect, and internalize them as well.
