00:00:01.643 --> 00:00:10.967
Just imagine yourself being led through the halls, the formidable halls of the headquarters of Microsoft, being led to your new job.

00:00:10.967 --> 00:00:18.873
You've just secured the CEO in his khakis and light blue polo shirt, taking you towards your desk to begin.

00:00:18.873 --> 00:00:36.726
As you walk by all the glass doors and all the very important and smart looking people typing on their computers, you continue towards the very end of the hall where you are introduced to your brand new office, the dream job you just secured, but you aren't sure what the job is.

00:00:36.726 --> 00:00:42.267
You ace the interview, you accepted the job, but you don't know what the job is.

00:00:42.267 --> 00:00:51.283
And as the man that walked you through the formidable hallways down to your desk bids, you farewell.

00:00:51.283 --> 00:00:55.104
As the CEO tips his cap, he says Now good luck.

00:00:55.104 --> 00:01:09.608
And there you are, alone in your desk, in the office of your dream job, but you have no idea what the job is, what it entails and what the objective is.

00:01:09.608 --> 00:01:24.689
This could go one of two ways it could be tragic, it could be an ultimate failure, or you could just figure out what the job is and continue to succeed and work your way up to the very top of the company.

00:01:26.061 --> 00:01:36.450
This muscle, this parable, is very much the idea of something that we have to come to terms with and understand, and that we have been given the dream job at Microsoft.

00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:46.328
We've been given life down here on this earth, but we don't have a profit, like the Villanagone says, like they used to have in days by gone.

00:01:46.328 --> 00:01:49.828
You could just say what is my job in life?

00:01:49.828 --> 00:01:52.019
What is my chuvah sob olamot?

00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:54.108
What am I to do with my talents?

00:01:54.108 --> 00:02:01.391
Why has my soul come all the way down from beneath Hashem's heavenly throne down to this planet?

00:02:01.391 --> 00:02:05.227
Instead, we have to figure it out by ourselves.

00:02:05.227 --> 00:02:06.549
So what do you do?

00:02:06.549 --> 00:02:26.600
Well, search the office, try to discover what it is, based on your cognitive abilities, based on your office proximity, based on what tools and instruments you have in your Microsoft office desk.

00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:31.133
By doing like that, you can work backwards.

00:02:31.133 --> 00:02:33.162
You can figure out.

00:02:33.162 --> 00:02:50.885
If you have a broom and a mop, you might be cleaning the floors at Microsoft, but if you have a big corner office with ceiling to floor, glass windows, you may be very talented and a lot may be asked of you.

00:02:52.108 --> 00:03:07.332
The Messiah says there's absolutely no reason, if life down here on this earth was for taiva, for sensual pleasure seeking, that God would give us this tremendously lofty and elevated soul, it isn't needed.

00:03:07.332 --> 00:03:14.004
So when you think, why is it that I have this elevated soul that already guides us towards?

00:03:14.004 --> 00:03:17.293
We have a pretty high-end job.

00:03:17.293 --> 00:03:20.127
We may even be vice president of a company.

00:03:20.127 --> 00:03:31.443
Each person should look around his office, his life, whether he's wealthy or poor, tall or short, alacritus or lazy.

00:03:31.443 --> 00:03:33.527
What is it that you bring to the table?

00:03:33.527 --> 00:03:35.953
What is your hova soba olamo?

00:03:35.953 --> 00:03:43.471
And when you work backwards, you can become your own prophet to figure out what it is that the Almighty wants from you.

00:03:43.471 --> 00:03:54.102
And like that, you can figure out your job and they'll then go about it, fulfilling the reason why Hashem sent you to this earth.

00:03:54.102 --> 00:04:09.758
