Facing the Truth with Authenticity and Courage—#6 17:45

1+ y ago17:45

17:45

Humility = Strength. Ego is the enemy, and getting ourselves out of our own way is the David/Yehuda way to incredible success/Kingship. When we uphold the image of our successful self, we can take the high road of Yosef, but sometimes the best and most powerful path forward is to admit that we are in fact powerless (this expression of powerlessness…

Yosef is being led by the hand to his destiny. His descent to Egypt is the catalyst for the Jewish nation being exiled there, surviving spiritually, and ultimately emerging as a nation, and it all begins with Yosef’s descent.

YOU Write the Script of Your Life. We discuss how staying above your circumstances, by being rooted above your circumstances. That way you can *choose* to define your reality, and not let reality dictate to you what your life is. We return to the life of biblical Joseph.

In episode #2 we discussed how to balance ambition and acceptance. Accept the reality of today, including the things you don’t love, and by accepting them, you keep them from overwhelming your entire worldview, which in turn allows you to move forward.

Who was Joseph? Paradigm of discipline and focus? Starry eyed dreamer? Brilliant visionary? Joseph’s personality develops from day one, and can be derived from his very name. “And she (Rachel) called his name Joseph (yosef, to add) for G-d has gathered (asaf) my shame.” Joseph, it turns out, relates both to adding and to gathering. He defines, gath…

24:56

Death and The True Meaning of Life. After 12 chapters of describing the futility of life, Kohelet closes with a discussion of death.

The Reactive Cynic. Solomon's begs us to consider the following two extremes: The successful person who knows they have something unique to contribute and they go ahead and work it, until at last, success --Proactivity at its best.

Why does the promised youth fail to live up to their potential? It's not for lack of talent, but for lack of understanding. Talents, like everything else, need to be managed, otherwise they can be as more liability than asset. ---Ecclesiastes/Kohelet 9:11-18 I have further observed under the sun that The race is not won by the swift, Nor the battle…

It's time to reengage with life, and live each moment as a compl…

The rules of success are universal. The marshmallow test, which displays one's ability to delay gratification, may predict a future doctor who can endure med school, who saves lives for a living, or the drug lord, who patiently ascends to power, and who may kill to earn his bread. There seem to be many paths to success. The key is simply to choose …

John Keats spoke of ‘Negative Capability’ — as explained by Robert Greene in Mastery. Our ego loves to explain and define. This leads to complacency, to a complete lack of sustained growth. Humility is the key. We can humbly recognize our complete insignificance before the Infinite. We know nothing. Now, we can rethink, redefine, everything. The sk…

Since we all have our own perception of things, how can we truly empathize with others? The wisdom of humility teaches us that reality is much deeper and goes much further than we can ever truly grasp. The other person's perspective, though very different than yours, is just as valid.

Ecclesiastes/Koheles 5:7-19. If you see in a province oppression of the poor and suppression of right and justice, don’t wonder at the fact; for one high official is protected by a higher one, and both of them by still higher ones.

Thought, speech, action. That is the magic formula of human effectiveness. Speech is the most powerful human faculty, and Solomon's enjoins us to use it well. Keep your mouth from being rash, and let not your throat be quick to bring forth speech before God. For God is in heaven and you are on earth; that is why your words should be few. Just as dr…
