The Power of Now, Fully Present in the Present

What is the greatest moment of your life? 

This One.

Whomever you’re speaking with now - 

Is *the* most important person in the world for you right now.

Whatever it is you’re busy with now - 

Is *the* most important thing in the world for you right now. 

Wherever you are in the world right now -

Is *exactly* where your shlichus lay right now.

Forget about what was.

Forget about what’s next.

Forget about what’s going on - 

In any other space beyond this dot. 

Forget about what anyone else is doing, 

Or has done, or will do. 

Just be you, 

Just be here, 

Just be now. 

Fully PRESENT in the PRESENT

Don’t be distracted

Don’t multitask -

It’s a waste of time,

And there is NO such thing.

Be fully here,

With all your being - 

With all your *thoughts*, 

With all your *words*, 

With all your *actions*.

(And with all your passion!)

All three.

No less.

Every time. 

Get real.

Get off the fence. 

Just choose. 

In or out.

Here or there. 

Whatever “it” is, 

Even if it’s just a step on the way,

Even if it’s just a means to an end,

Even if it’s just a preparation,

Even if it’s just one tiny detail, 

In just one tiny space,

By just one soul out of millions… 

Give it all you’ve got,

Do it all the way - 

Cuz it MATTERS,

And the whole world depends on it - 

Cuz all time 

is included in THIS moment,

And all space 

is included in THIS dot,

And all Jews 

are included in YOUR soul,

(Including all those who came before you, and all those who will come after you,)

Because the whole world was created JUST FOR YOU,

Which means the whole world is included in YOU, 

Which means that YOU can affect the whole world,

Just by doing YOUR part fully, 

*Right here, right *Now*

You were given the full achrayus,

You were given the full zechus,

Don’t put it on anyone else to bring the Geulah.

Cuz everyone must do their part,

But no one else can do *your* part.

Don’t think *you* don’t count.

Don’t think *this moment* doesn’t count.

Don’t think *your corner* doesn’t count.

Cuz when all of you is invested,

In one place, at one time, 

For one purpose,

That’s you living Geulah.

That’s you being “amitis” and “shleima” - 

That’s you being true, complete, and perfect.

That’s you preparing for the GLOBAL Geulah haamitis vihashleima -

When the whole world will be true, complete, and perfect. 

That’s you getting ready, 

That’s you warming up to it,

That’s you tasting it.

Don’t just wait to be taken to Eretz Yisroel,

CREATE Eretz Yisroel here.

Don’t just wait for the Geulah to come, CREATE Geulah now*

*Cuz what you’ll see then, and what you’ll see there,*

*Is simply the revelation of what you create Now and Here*

It’s ALL in your hands.

And He needs you ALL IN.

May we immediately find ourselves with Moshiach, in Yerushalayim!
