Welcome to Planet Earth. Welcome to Being a Human Being

Description

Welcome to planet Earth. Welcome to being a human being. In this powerful shiur, Rabbi Yoni Fischer speaks about one of the most important ideas in Yiddishkeit: you were never broken. You were created with instincts, struggles, laziness, anger, jealousy, pain, and the ability to choose something higher. That is the difference between a person and an animal. An animal is trapped inside instinct. A person can say: yesterday I was one way, but today I can become something else. Rabbi Fischer explains that real simcha comes from knowing you are not stuck. The yetzer hara tells a person, “This is just who you are.” Torah tells a person, “No. You can grow.” And yes, if getting up in the morning feels impossible, congratulations. You are officially human. Welcome to the club. Membership is free, but the coffee is not included. The real avodah is not becoming perfect overnight. Nothing real grows fast. The avodah is to become a little better today than you were yesterday. Support Yeshiva Matisyahu: https://secure.cardknox.com/yeshivamatisyahu Subscribe for more shiurim from Rabbi Yoni Fischer.
