I'm just restating this, resurrecting it, because I fear it was killed previously with a bit of leitzanus.

Eye - join the party!

Laag?  Where did you go to - can I offer you another beer?  A single-malt?  Wine?  I'm being a terrible host, here.

Here I think it is different for everyone.  Some people think not enough, whilst others think too much.  Without any thought, there is no direction, or Chas v'shalom the wrong direction.  I'm now thinking of the people who blindly follow something that they read in a sefer, without understanding whether it is relevant to them or not.  But with too much thought comes fear and inaction.

IMHO, a balance needs to be found for each person.

The Yetzer Horo is an amazing opponent, and has read Sun Tzu and all the other great books on war.  He knows that one can use an opponents strengths against him.  Where the mind is a person's strength (and pride), he will use that.  At the end of any meeting (in business, medicine, therapy) there should be actions.  Without those, and a follow-through, it is all Hevel hevalim.

Additionally, and separately, there is only one time, and that is now.  The hard part is knowing the right thing to do "now".  There are so many right things, and only one now...  It gets confusing.  Hillel didn't answer that one in an obvious way.

I'll have to consider that.

Who am I today?  I am an inspired man.

When I walked through the streets of Boro Park for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the sheer weight of Jewry - the multitudes of JEWS.  It was amazing, coming from a significantly smaller community, to see so much Yiddishkeit.  So many shuls, Yeshivos and of course Judaica/Food/etc. shops.  Here were so many Jews going about their business.

When I first saw Yerushalayim, the masses of Jews at the Kotel praying together, I felt my heart lifting, feeling as if I was where I belonged.  I felt history, presence, togetherness.  It was a wonderful experience - here were so many Jews going about their business.

When I first found GYE, I felt very drawn - here was a site for people struggling through what I have been through, and still go through.  But here is something special - it is not Jews going about their business.  It is people going beyond their boundaries, pushing themselves, succeeding, and more importantly failing over and over and over but not giving up (so it can hardly be failure)!  "Heroes" is too corny a word for this site.  How often does one get to walk amongst those fighting a war and seeing the victories?  Walk through a Yeshiva - is it any comparison?  Rarely.

GYE inspires me in areas other than the obvious.  It has inspired me to look at myself and change in tangible ways in my Yiddishkeit, just from the basking in the presence of such people.  You are all wonderful.
