Who is wise? One who chooses to see the positive and beauty in themselves and their life.
Rav Meir Eliyahu, in a fiery shiur on the Aseret Yemei Teshuva, empowers his audience to recognize how much H'shem has blessed them. With this awareness, one can focus and strive to be better, more connected, and a more inspired servant of H'shem.
H'shem has the answers to all our requests. He can grant us life, love, prosperity, health, and nachas effortlessly. He wants to give us everything, but He wants it to be for our benefit.
During these days, Rav Eliyahu says we can accomplish more than 40 days at the Kotel, visiting Kevarim of Tzadikim, giving large amounts of Tzedakah, or endless Tefilot throughout the year. We can meet H'shem on our porch, in our car, or sitting on our couch. These are the days H'shem waits for us to greet Him, make concessions, analyze our deeds, and draw close to Him.
Rav Eliyahu warns that these 10 days have a parallel 10 days when H'shem tests us to see if our new resolutions will stick. The 10 days from Yom Kippur to Shmini Atzeret hold the key to our future remaining bright, or chas v'shalom, not. We must be wise and make the most of these days by connecting to the closeness of the Shechinah and striving to be as virtuous as possible.
We all know where in our own lives we can improve. H'shem is not asking for perfection or for us to become someone we're not. He is asking for effort. If you fall, try again. Each moment of these 10 days can hold the promise of a brighter future.
