For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Baruch Hashem every time I turn on my phone I see AT&T’s
logo: Rethink Possible. We say in the
Berache of Shema Kolenu in the Amidah
(Shmoneh Esreh) everyday three time per day: Baruch Ata Hashem Shomeah Tefillah, Blessed are You Hashem The One
who Hears our Prayers.
On a simple level, we are blessing Hashem for having the zchut (privilege) that literally The
Master of the Universe -who controls our subway rides in the morning and the
text messages zooming through the air to get to the respondent’s phone- is
standing in front of us and with both ears hearing every word and prayer we
spill from our lips.
However, on a slightly deeper level we can understand when
saying Hashem hears our Prayer we are admitting and telling ourselves that
Hashem listens to every word I say! Meaning, nothing is left unheard, nothing
is left hidden. Every emotion in our heart and every thought that is up on our
brain’s desktop is revelaed to Hashem. He knows everything. Therefore, when we
say Shomeah Tefillah (The One Who hears Prayer), we are saying I believe in my Tefillah that it is being
heard and it is eventually going to be answered 100%. We need to inspire ourselves
to get to a level where we boost our confidence because we have a Neshama (a
soul). It is like having an endless amount of cash on us all the time to be
used on whatever we want. We don’t evaluate ourselves and appreciate our
status. This is healthy, in fact it is the way a Jew should live; we are given
life. We are given freedom to choose good and follow in the footsteps of our
holy ancestors to just inspire, be inspired and let loose in the path of the
Torah through positive actions and Ma’asim
(events).
AT&T’s logo is a complete lie because a Jew lives it
everyday, our life ‘motto’ is not Rethink
Possible it is actually: Living Possible. We are already there.
We are at that goal of success and completion and
appreciation. The problem rests in our hands, we hold ourselves back and we let
ourselves fall to the hands of the Yetzer
Hara.
If we believed in how
much we are actually worth Mashiach would have been here already! We can all
reach our spiritual potential, its just a matter of how much we believe in
ourselves that we CAN SUCCEED on the path of the Torah HaKdosha.
