The Art of Losing: Embracing Failure and Rising Stronger (Parsha)

What if we told you that losing and failure could be just as valuable as winning and success? In this thought-provoking episode, we uncover the art of losing and how to fail in style, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Korach and the wisdom of the great Daphiumi Magicir and B'shmuli-Bornstein Schlieta.

We share a powerful insight from Revsorotskin about picking up our metaphorical staff and trying again after experiencing failure. Instead of creating excuses and blaming external factors, we discuss the importance of taking responsibility for our own shortcomings and giving it another go. Join us as we learn how to lose the right way, with determination and a renewed sense of purpose, striving to become the best versions of ourselves.

00:00:01.524 --> 00:00:15.487
We talk a lot about the art of winning here We're always trying to find new avenues to apply different teachings, to hopefully triumph, to reach victory in a lot of our internal struggles.

00:00:15.487 --> 00:00:25.475
Yet perhaps even more prevalent and common than winning victory is losing failure.

00:00:25.475 --> 00:00:39.115
And perhaps we don't talk about it enough, and perhaps just Korach gave us what is probably the right way to lose, or just call it failing in style.

00:00:39.115 --> 00:01:08.212
And to borrow a Sprach, a line from the great Daphiumi Magicir, someone who the Shchino is, medaberes mitoich groinoi feels like the Almighty's glory, speaks from his esophagus, the B'shmuli-Bornstein Schlieta, as he says that, tucked away, here we have a lesson and here, truthfully, tucked away in one little pussock that you might have overlooked, gives us the style, the proper way to lose.

00:01:08.212 --> 00:01:18.771
So there is this standoff, not only about Moshe's position, but even Aaron Hakowin's position, and if he is, truthfully and rightfully, the High Priest, maybe it's someone else.

00:01:18.771 --> 00:01:36.112
And Hashem says here's a test Everyone put their staves down, their Shiftucho, mishantekha, their Matos, and whichever one shall be selected in the morning will be the one, the individual who will have been selected.

00:01:36.112 --> 00:01:39.108
And then it was the next day.

00:01:39.108 --> 00:01:41.308
And then it was the next day.

00:01:41.308 --> 00:01:45.463
What do you know, aaron Hakowin from the House of Levi.

00:01:45.463 --> 00:01:54.108
His staff started to sprout and blossom with almonds obviously some Kabbalistic concepts going on here.

00:01:54.108 --> 00:02:04.632
So Vayi'yotze Moshe as Kolamatos, melefneeshyeh Mokobeneeshol and Aaron Moshe removed all of the staffs outside of the OMOA and placed them on the floor.

00:02:04.632 --> 00:02:06.727
But the Pasek doesn't end there.

00:02:06.727 --> 00:02:19.888
Vayiru and all of the tribes saw that the staffs were on the floor, the in this standoff, those that have lost Vayikhu Ishmateyo, and they went and took their staffs back up.

00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:35.205
And there's a fundamental insight here Comes really from Revsorotskin, that when a person creates an attempt of Godless, i'm going to become the next, this or I'm going to start dovetailing like this or bench like this, but it fails.

00:02:35.205 --> 00:02:39.068
We often create a Sheetah in opinion against the matter.

00:02:39.068 --> 00:02:43.550
Subconsciously, we blame the game as opposed to the player.

00:02:43.550 --> 00:02:46.747
You know, really, learning like this isn't the right way to do it either way.

00:02:46.747 --> 00:02:48.724
Very scary insight.

00:02:48.724 --> 00:02:51.549
Benching like this is not really possible in 2023.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:03:07.569
Instead of going and losing properly and taking your attempted victory and success, instead of just failing and leaving it there on the floor and your staff, you pick your staff back up and you give it another go.

00:03:07.569 --> 00:03:09.645
You don't leave the staff on the floor.

00:03:09.645 --> 00:03:13.129
Each one put their staff in to make this leap, to become the Goan Gotha.

00:03:13.129 --> 00:03:13.882
What do you know?

00:03:13.882 --> 00:03:16.590
it was a failure, because only one can be chosen Aaron Akohin.

00:03:16.590 --> 00:03:19.747
Every man must pick up their staff and begin again.

00:03:21.102 --> 00:03:23.659
The Apostle tells us that ain't all about rake me, chem.

00:03:23.659 --> 00:03:31.816
Tyre is not an empty thing and the Medru says and the Chovitz Chaim uses this many, many times that if it is empty, if Tyre isn't working for you, it's not empty.

00:03:31.816 --> 00:03:33.604
But you are empty, you're not doing it right.

00:03:33.604 --> 00:03:37.562
People say, oh, the Gamora doesn't work, it's just Aramaic, it's not going.

00:03:37.562 --> 00:03:42.350
No, you haven't taken the necessary steps to bring out its glory and to really connect with it.

00:03:44.199 --> 00:04:06.463
The proper way to lose sometimes is to strike out and tip your cap to the pitcher And instead of blaming the referees, instead of blaming your cleats, telling the press conference and telling all the reporters that the whole game is rigged and I wasn't feeling all of the different excuses, you tip your cap, you pick up your cleats and you go back to the gym and you work harder and say I got to get better.

00:04:06.463 --> 00:04:07.945
You pick up your staff.

00:04:07.945 --> 00:04:20.908
You don't create sheet those on why things in the game is rigged, but the player hits the gym again, with a new determination, with an all new ability to put his staff inside, to be chosen as the next great leader.

00:04:20.908 --> 00:04:23.862
This is the proper way to lose.
