Almost everybody has a vision of what their destiny could be. At the same time we create all of these excuses and doubts as to why our dreams aren't reality(fantasies) . (I'm not this, I'm not that, I made this mistake, I lack this talent, I'm not perfect) always looking to past the responsibility of greatness too someone else.(The a+ student, the super star athlete, the best looking People etc)
Everybody knows the story of how Moses took the Isralites out of Egypt. It was obviously destiny for the Israelites to leave Egypt (it was even predicted by Avraham). but look how Moses tries to talk himself out of it when Gd shows him destiny!
Rabbi Nechama Leibowitz writes:
"Five times did Moses refuse the mission he was charged with at the burning bush. Five times did he present his arguments, only to be overruled each time by the Almighty. Let us briefly survey the five rounds:
Then Moses said to God: Who am I to go to Pharaoh, and take the children of Israel out of Egypt? (3:11)
Moses said to God: When I actually come to the children of Israel and say to them and they say to me, What is his name?what shall I say to them? (3:13)
Moses answered and said: But they will never believe me or listen to me, for they will say: The Lord has not appeared to thee. (4:1)
Then Moses said to the Lord I have never been a man of words, neither Yesterday, nor even the day before, nor even since Thou hast spoken to Thy servant; for I am slow of speech and tongue.(4:10)
Finally he said: Send I pray Thee by the hand of whom Thou wilt send. (5:13)
It may be observed that Moses changed his defense in each answer as if he were seeking shelter each time behind another excuse."
Your greatness is destiny. Don't listen to your fear & doubts; according to Torah there total illusions. Trust the visions of greatness Gd has given to you. go all the way; changing world history forever!
