OK, OK, I've gotta get off reading thru this forum and get to work. The old fear is setting in that is trying to tell me i'm not good enough at what i do. BUT I KNOW IT"S WRONG. And I can't get even better if I dont keep working.

So back to work for 2day. I'll sign in later & let everyone know how 2day went. Daven for me that this pickle stays whole, and doesn't get cut into sandwich slices!!

Later...

Anyway, made a decision recently, not sure if it was right, but it felt right for me then. A friend, not so close, but a good man & major askan in our community, made a l'chaim for his daughter's engagement. Normally, I would have gone to give him a mazal tov. But I realized, even tho his family are bnei aliya b'ruchniyos, his wife and daughter dress very attractively, plus the kallah herself is, well, gorgeous, according to her pic on Facebooks which my wife showed me. I haven't seen her in years, but she was good-looking as a teen & made friends with the crowd that dressed less sniyusly. I decided NOT to go, thinking "why should I put myself into that nisayon" of avoiding looking at all the pretty young women, who most likely will be dressed in ways that make one WANT to look. As Habib and Trying taught me, I'm not talking against them, I hope they are working on themselves despite the influences of fashion. I'm just recognizing it's MY problem, and question if am I stronger than the nisayon or not? And rather than "test" myself, i decided it's best not even to "engage" the enemy.

Good move Steve - this event does not sound like it was a good place for a nice Jewish boy to hang out!

Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

OL, the BEST BOMBS are BOMB KASHES!! Man, i miss yeshiva....

Well, folks, good ol' YH did it again to me, and I didn't get my work done, not even a little. Spent too much time on other issues. It's all the procrastination thing.

THAT'S my big struggle now. To believe in myself, and just nail that project.

Maybe I should make my own chart for this, like Slips are getting sidetracked for less than 5 min, and Falls are ones that go longer.

Thinking about that is pretty scarry. It would be a BIG challenge. Hmmmmmmm.......

Steve,

I'm going to talk to myself....You can listen in if you want to...

Stop feeling that you and your work are that important...that you have to put your whole head and heart in it....Yigia Kapecha davka....Of Course if you feel like the success of your work (as we have been trained by our parents, Americnanishe ZTudraite Society etc.) is what will define your worth as a person...Then work becomes like trying to cross a board that 1000 feet up with no safety net...Crossing a board ain't to hard but if your whole life is at stake then we suddenly close up and find every excuse to not do it....because it's terrifying....

The board is not up in the air it's on the ground...The fact we were born and we are still alive means that Hakadosh Baruch needs us...kivayochol...Thatt's our self worth....the job is just a job....enough procrastinating...Gotta Go!
