but it's really to reach your ultimate spiritual potential. To reach your ultimate spiritual potential. That's the purpose of life, to become the the greatest spiritually conscious being you can become. And we said that's expressed in through three main things. That's your thought, speech, and action. Thought, speech, and action. Am I thinking, speaking, and acting how a soul would think, speak, and act if it was put into a body? And we said a major part of that is And we said a major part of that is really going beyond yourself and getting to true Jewish enlightenment and spirituality is where I'm I'm not living for myself anymore. I'm living for a higher purpose. I've I've invested in myself so much that I don't need to overly think about myself anymore and I can just I can positively impact the world around me, make the world a better place. But that doesn't mean I ever stop investing in myself. You have to do your own meditation every day. You have to do your own exercise every day. You've got to go to the mikveh every day. You've got to learn every day. You've got to got to learn every day. You've got to pray every day. You've got to do your thing every day. So you're never going to stop investing in yourself. But when you're doing all of those things to invest in your own peace of mind and your own greatness, your real intention is cuz the greater I am, the more I can help other people. That's why I want to be great so I can help other people. And that's where true greatness comes from. So now, we're going to have to understand how we're going to do this. How are we going to play this?
