incrementally create not only a wish but a resolution how to better ourselves how to be more mindful how to act with more alacrity how to prove that we can live without so we can live with how to be able to raise ourselves up to a higher level of holiness and expectation of sanctity of mindfulness and we've been learning the paraka of khasitas how to be more pious better versions of ourselves not externally what we wear but internally what we think how we feel and who we are nimsa islamic so we learned there are two ideas when it comes to this says the first is the mindfulness and the intent with every mitzvah eloi makkom we've been talking about the idea that we don't just live for ourselves we're not for the here and now we don't measure life by the pleasure that we receive but rather we are here to serve we are here as ambassadors and agents we are here on a mission to advance the brand of the name of hashem to be marbeque to draw others closer to him and to be able to mold and shape the world more in his image according to his plan that we ourselves should evaluate the decisions we make are we giving him pride are we making him happy are we doing what he wants what he expects expects of us but also to teach and preach and promote that for those around us that society at large individuals within it should be making choices and living life in a way that gives a nacca to hashem that makes him proud that doesn't pursue our pleasure
