Toddlers are notorious for saying, "Myself!" They love trying to do tasks all by themselves, with no help. It's cute and all, and even healthy for a toddler to behave this way. But grown adults who constantly live with a "Myself!" mentality, not seeking help or assistance from others, are setting themselves up for failure. In this week's episode of The Torah Sparks Podcast, we discuss the idea that true success comes from teamwork and how haughtiness steers a person far away from real success.

Have you ever been cut off while driving? It's not fun, and naturally, we tend to feel anger and frustration. But what if we reframe our minds and think that this person is not really cutting me off, rather G-d is cutting on action and testing us to see how we react and respond? Interesting.

Have you ever wondered how National Geographic photographers are able to capture the most exquisite and picturesque footage? It's not their expensive cameras; rather, it's the risks that they are willing to take to get the breathtaking footage. We learn a life lesson about seeing "risks" as entrance ways into a life of greatness.

There was nothing about Kodak filing for bankruptcy in 2012 that made it a "Kodak Moment." It was a moment of disaster and great failure for what was, one of the leading companies in the photograph industry. Kodak suffered from complacency, which led to their need to file bankruptcy. We learn an incredibly important life lesson about the power of "healthy dissatisfaction" and we see how Yisro, despite having "made it in life," realized there must be more to do and accomplish.Check out the Torah Sparks website at https://www.torahsparks.com/ for the latest podcasts, videos and blog posts.If you enjoy this content, please share with your friends, family, and neighbors.
