Episode 2425 - You are standing here TODAY

0:00Good afternoon, hope you're having an awesome air of Shabbos as is our customer share one of the thousands of relevant messages from this week's tour portion That you and I can apply to our everyday lives this week's part should being a double-edged VNitsavim Vayelich now Nitsavim starts with the following sentence atem Nitsavim Hayom Guchem you are all now standing here and the question that's asked was why does have say you are not all standing here Hayom today like meaning we know where we are today We might not know where we are tomorrow We might have forgotten about where we were yesterday, but right now we know where we are many different explanations But one of them that I love is that so many people live in the future or in the past But the reality is this is where you're standing right now Don't obsess over what happened in the past or worry what's gonna happen in the future Don't sit there on fantasize about a reality of the future or think about how great things were in the past Rather focus on today that is where all the action happens To name many people forget that life is lived in the present

1:01I remember some joke on I think our fridge growing up That's why it's called the present because it's a present You can't think about past or future. Yes, you can learn from past Yes, you can project to the future, but remember atem Nitsavim Hayom You are now standing here at this place and therefore we have so much control in agency When the one thing we can think about is what are we going to do now? That's the power of the moment and the power of the choices that we make Hayom today and so on that note wishing you an awesome shot And I look forward to seeing you tomorrow Ironically
