THE CHANGE IS HARD TO NOTICE (40 YRS R AKIVA )
Take One Day at a Time
"The keys to control" are exactly what I need! What do routine and experience have to do with controlling my eyes?
"Routine and experience are the keys to control in every matter."
(Ohr Yisrael, Letter Four)
Rabbi Salanter used the word "routine" quite intentionally, for self-improvement does not happen overnight. Character refinement is a process that takes time. Develop a routine practice of guarding your eyes. By making it a habit, you will eventually train your eyes to avoid looking at improper images.
The slowness of your progress may frustrate you. Remember that just as you cannot detect the movement of the hour hand on a clock unless you look at it intermittently, it's hard to detect character transformation as it is taking place.
Let's review the well-known story of Rabbi Akiva, who began studying Torah at age forty, and felt little progress. One day, he sat down near a spring and noticed a rock with a hole that had been made by the dripping water. He saw a wonderful message in this occurrence: "If water, which is soft, can carve a rock, which is hard - then surely the Torah, which is so strong, can penetrate my heart which is only flesh and blood." (Avot D'Rebbi Natan, chapter 6)
This insight - that there is undetectable, but certain change - inspired Rabbi Akiva to rededicate himself to Torah. He understood that every word he learned infused him with spiritual health, life, and holiness. This awareness propelled him to become one of the greatest of our Sages.
The other key is experience. In your battle to overcome the curiosity of your eyes, there will be slip-ups and mistakes along the way. Unexpected images or challenging situations may catch you off-guard.
Even if you have the strongest dedication to self-improvement, it's critical to accept the fact that mistakes are part of the learning process. We need to learn the pitfalls in order to avoid them. The Talmud expresses this truth: "A person can only learn after he has erred." (Gittin 43a)
The realization that mastery over your eyes takes time and experience is very important for two reasons: first, to avoid the unrealistic expectation of instant change; and secondly, to understand that without occasional mistakes, we cannot really grasp the lesson.
Considering the tendency of human nature to be attracted to improper images, it is virtually impossible for a person to gain instant control of his eyes. If you react with guilt and despair every time you fall short, you will never learn from your error. But if you can identify the exact mistake, you will eventually learn not to repeat it.

THE BULDOZER
YOU HAVE TO CONFRONT THE YH AND KNOCK HIM OUT WITH A PUNCH AND GO OVER HIM AND BE AGGRESIVE
THE BIG DAY TO KILL YH IS HERE FROM GYE
It's hard
Very Hard
But worth it.
Very Worth it.
The evil YH, will plan and scheme
He will make us yell and scream
He will make us stubbornly fight
And convince us that wrong is right
He will stop at nothing to make us stray
And make us waste yet another day
He will convince us that we have erred too far
And we no longer can shine as Hashem's star
How wrong he is this lousy beast
Who will soon be slaughtered at the Mashiach feast
He plays games with our minds and makes us turn away
From Hashem, our Master who loves us every single day
Yes, it's hard to see through the tricks of this bum
But we must remain focused, and we will overcome
For a Jew that gets up after a fall and grows from the pain
Has taken his Neshama and erased yet another stain
Soon enough Mashiach will arrive, not despite our falls, rather because of them
Mashiach will reveal just how close we always were to Hashem
Stand strong dear brothers and sisters, warriors of Truth
The days of the YH are numbered, he hangs on by a tooth
Yes, it seems so far away and not a reality we can touch
But it is close, very close, because Hashem loves us very much
Never before has a generation been so close, yet so far
My dear brothers and sisters, it's time to raise the bar
Let's resolve here today ,as one voice with no dissent
To do an action today to further do Teshuva and repent
Let's take it up a notch and improve something in our way
and in that merit we shall truly be worthy of bringing Mashiach TODAY!!!
Yes, its hard.
Very Hard
But it's worth it.
Yes, Very worth it.
Very Hard
But worth it.
Very Worth it.

Up Against the Whole World
Up Against the Whole World
Sent by "HelpMeGYE"
R' Ezriel Tauber Shlit"a was once asked to speak in a certain school where the principal had discovered that the kids were sharing blue movies. This is what he told them. Sent by "HelpMeGYE"
He said that the 6000 years of creation are split into three parts. The first part corresponds to Eloikai Avraham, the second to Elokai Yitschok and the third to Elokai Yaakov. However the generation before Moshiach is the Chasima (stamp) of creation, and it corresponds to Magen Avraham - as in the first Bracha of Shmoneh Esrei. And that's where we are now.
What was the greatness of Avraham Avinu? That he was able to stand up against an entire world that worshiped Avoda Zora and preach monotheism.
Said R Tauber: When we face a computer with access to the whole world, every one of us is an individual Avrohom Avinu, because we each face-off against an entire world. That is why our generation corresponds to Avraham - and that's why we will be the generation to bring Moshiach!
