Saving You An Ego Trip
Mr. Biker is impatient, for all the talk about King David, Rabbi insists on focusing first on David's ancestor Yehuda.
Why?
Rabbi explains how Yehuda's life illustrates that admitting weakness as a form of strength
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
With no skin in the game we are able to humbly submit before Hashem and allow Him to lead us to great success that only He knows us to be capable of.
Millions have found strength and powerful inspiration from the various twelve step programs. Step # 3, which is the crux of the program reads as follows: “Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of G-d…” There’s incredible power in the raw honest living that comes with genuine ego negation.
