Noah has the answers



 sometimes we doubt ourselves saying; "Who am I to think I can change the world? (Thinking about all of the great people before you and how you're nowhere close to them). Why would Gd gave me these ambitions; when I've made so many mistakes in life. The people before me were almost perfect I'm nowhere close" .

Where can I go to draw strength, awareness, inspiration convincing me ; "even though I'm not perfect in comparison to others; I'm perfect for my generation?"(At the right time at the right place in history to make history)

The story of Noah in the Torah is a blueprint to never question your significance in impacting the whole world. Also to never compare yourself to anyone else because you were created perfect for Gd's plan:



Interpreting the words, "Noah was a just man, and perfect in his generations," (Genesis 6:9)

Rabbi Johanan taught that Noah was considered righteous in his generations, but would not have been considered righteous in other generations.

Similarly, Rabbi Judah interpreting the words, "Noah was a just man, and perfect in his generations," in Genesis 6:9. Rabbi Judah taught that only "in his generations" was he a righteous man (by comparison). Had he lived in the generation of Moses or Samuel, he would not have been called righteous.

Rabbi Judah said that in the street of the totally blind, the one-eyed man is called clear-sighted, and the infant is called a scholar.

Rabbi Judah compared it to a man with a wine vault who opened one barrel and found it vinegar, opened another and found it vinegar, and opened a third to find it turning sour. When people told him that it was turning, he asked if the vault contained any better. Similarly, "in his generations" Noah was a righteous man.

"Never doubt yourself it's your time. absolutely belief in Gd is the only way to reach your destination" (Strength from Gd; inspiration from Noah!)
