Courage Leadership & Success

You can change the world.

Abraham is the father of monotheism. Publicizing “faith in one creator”. The one individual who courageously changed the world. Today, in every corner of the globe, people from all nations continue to live with Abraham’s revolutionary faith and heritage.

The Torah documents the first command Abraham received from G-d. “Leave your land, your birthplace and your father’s home to the land which I will show you”. In this short statement are the ingredients for every  success in life.

In order for a person to succeed with any idea one must leave their biased perspectives, desires and habits. Since a person is influenced by their “environment”.  To find
G-d ,Israel, truth, we must be bias-free.

In Hebrew the words are “Lech-Lechah”. Literally translated “Go to you”.  We are all endowed with a Divine Holy soul. Go and reveal your deeper beautiful self. Unleash your Divine power. You will happily surprise yourself with your success.

We may be afraid to leave our comfort zone. Fear of leaving our familiar routine and our old thinking patterns, our familiar desires and behaviors. But we must change ourselves first, then we can successfully inspire others.

Our father Abraham was courageous. The quintessential leader. “Focused and Fearless”.  Tested with life threatening challenges. Abraham faced a most difficult mission.  To change the way the entire world thinks.  Yet Avrohom and Sara celebrated life in a way that inspired the world to happily join them.

In modern lingo: Abraham successfully conceived and created a new product and did all the marketing, patenting, advertising, packaging, sales, shipping and delivery. One Abraham all by himself!

Abraham took his product “Monotheism” global. An international global success. With happy customers around the world. Generations of loyal customers. Abraham created the world’s first global company which continues to flourish and expand as the number one company on the “Global Stock Exchange” for 4000 years.

Wow! Of course we are proud of our father Abraham. The first Jewish owner and CEO of the world’s most popular startup in all of history. Even his competition voluntarily  joined him. As grandchildren we are proud to follow in Abraham's footsteps.

G-d named him “Abraham my Beloved” and chose Abraham as the Most Valuable Person of history. Because of Abraham’s commitment to educate his family to follow in his footsteps. As the Torah states: “Because I know him that he will command-connect his children and household after him to do justice”.

You are the Abraham of your personal environment. Courageously and fearlessly you can make a real difference. Your home is a Chabad House like Abraham. Welcome each person with joy. With a smile. Loving-kindness. Unconditionally. Moshiach is on the way. You can be the one to  make it happen.

3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:

1) You are filled with treasures. Discover your true DNA which comes from Abraham. As a
descendant of Abraham you are empowered to bring light and blessings into the world.

2) When G-d made the eternal covenant with Abraham he told Abraham to divide a cow into two parts and then G-d and Abraham walked between the two halves. Because even when we seem adrift, know you are united. You are always one with G-d. You are loved unconditionally.

3) Isaac’s Bris was at eight days of birth. Ishmael was circumcised when he was intellectually developed at thirteen years of age. Because a Jew’s connection with G-d, transcends logic. Our bond is unbreakable. Celebrate your true self. Paradoxically, Abraham considered himself humble as “dust” and as a result he projected Divine unlimited power and strength. Celebrate your true eternal beauty.
