Be Your True Self
Be Your True Self
Rabbi Yisrael Salanter said, "On Judgment Day, I will not be afraid of the question why I was not great like Moses. The question I need to keep in mind is why I was not everything that Yisrael Salanter could have been!"
This was truly a great question that I came upon this morning. I don't usually compare myself to great leaders or holy people throughout the centuries. But I this year in 2007 I have been really reflecting on who I am, how I act with my kids, how I interact with them. If I stood at judgement day would I be able to look at myself and be happy with who I am? It's a work in progress. Anyone have a thoughts on being the best that one can be?
