Continuous Inspiration


How can we take a moment of inspiration and carry it with us forever? There’s no way to relive that time, there’s no way for us to look back and recreate the feelings we shared to the same extent which we originally felt them. The ONLY method is to incorporate the actions which those few precious moments inspired, IMMEDIATELY into our lives, and perform them EVERY second of EVERY day. We must not say to ourselves that we’ll be better tomorrow, or that we’re going to start this at some other point in time, because that’s just the yetzer hara trying to prevent us from reaching our true potential. Now what happens if we slip (chas v’shalom) and make a mistake? Does it make us hypocrites? Aren’t we human, and therefore not perfect? Or is all of this the yetzer hara talking? I once learned that as Jews, we must be L’mala min ha’teva (above nature). So if it’s human nature to make mistakes, we are supposed to be “above” that.

In my humble opinion, one of the keys to being successful in maintaining a certain level of yiddishkeit and always carrying those moments of inspiration with us is that we must always strive for perfection. We must always take those philosophies, which we hold as truths, and walk with them at all times. Even if we do commit an action (chas v’shalom), which would go against a torah principle, we must realize that we can still strive for that level of perfection. We can still do teshuva, recognize our wrong, and IY”H, turn it into a growing experience. We can’t let anything bring us down. We must daven to Hashem for the motivation to keep growing, and to never allow any stumbling blocks get in our way. With that said, we must also remember that we can’t just sit idly by, because Hashem only helps those who help themselves. Therefore, we must ENSURE that we only put ourselves in situations where we can succeed and grow. We know where we should and shouldn’t be going, and where Ben/Bat-Torah’s belong.

IY”H, the combination of davening, the willingness to make sacrifices, only putting ourselves in proper situations, and Siyata D’Shmaya, will allow us to use everything in this world to serve Hashem, to always strive for that level of shleimus, and to never stray from His ways!
