Are you merely swinging through life on the hinges of habit, or are you truly progressing? This episode challenges you to confront the mahogany doors of your mind—those self-imposed limitations that keep you tethered to stagnation. With every resonating slam of tradition's doors, we are reminded of our potential to break free from the shackles of complacency and step boldly into personal growth. We throw open the grand doors of discussion, examining the difference between mere motion and meaningful advancement, and we invite you to march through them with us.

Our conversation takes a profound turn as we explore our metaphoric cement boots, those silent inhibitors to our progress. We share a dialogue and a battle cry for emancipation from the constraints that bind us. Without guests pulling punches, we offer raw insights into declaring war on the areas of our lives where we are most stuck. Join us as we pledge to unhinge ourselves from the circular paths of limitation and stride purposefully into a journey of genuine growth and self-improvement.

They are famous doorways, classic, monumental mahogany doors that swing open and close back and forth.

00:00:10.723 --> 00:00:45.487
Just articulating about those doors, the famous doors of Judaism at the front of the Merkazi, of the Yashiva Asmir, of Yerushalayim, those metal doors at the front of Bezmedrash Kavoha, bez Yashayah, bez Yitzchak, if you could calculate their movement as they are pulled open with excitement by those scores of knowledge, thirsty coylo, young delight as they flock in Excitedly to learn Hashem's Torah.

00:00:45.487 --> 00:01:00.607
Just measure the movement of these doors as they go back and forth and back and forth, probably miles that they have traveled on their route about, like a planet rounding its way around the sun.

00:01:00.607 --> 00:01:02.752
These classic doors.

00:01:02.752 --> 00:01:06.724
Movement, yes, just articulation.

00:01:07.165 --> 00:01:14.402
Maneuvering themselves, yes, all of those, but progress, advancement, hardly why?

00:01:14.402 --> 00:01:42.960
Because they are hinged, they are tied down, and in life they have so been educated that it is not action and movement that we are after, but unhinging ourselves with movement that creates progress and advancement, for otherwise we are just swinging back and forth, not traveling a great distance at all In life.

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:43.965
We all have our hinges.

00:01:43.965 --> 00:01:54.228
Sometimes we have to look in the mirror and see ourselves and recall just that one area that we seem to be stuck in and to declare war on it.

00:01:54.228 --> 00:02:10.485
Because when you do unhinge yourself and break free, ridding yourself of those cement boots and shackles that weigh us down and hinge us to the building, then all that movement starts to be progress and advancement.

00:02:10.485 --> 00:02:17.902
So if you are limited in some area, welcome to the club and declare war on it and break free from it.

00:02:17.902 --> 00:02:30.311
And then all of that movement, that back and forth movement, the motion of progress and advancement, what we call here just stiging growth.

00:02:30.311 --> 00:02:35.701
So unhinge yourself, break free, and we are to make real progress today.
