Mental Rehearsals

Before delivering an important speech, people rehearse. Before performing before a large audience, people rehearse. When you rehearse, you build up your skills and you improve what needs improvement. When you practice excellently, those experiences are stored in your brain cells and you can access them again and again.
Before a potentially difficult encounter with someone, mentally rehearse. In your mind's eye imagine yourself getting along smoothly. See yourself remaining calm and friendly the entire time. See yourself speaking with respect and kindness to the other person. Imagine that this person will speak to you in a friendly way.
This mental exercise is a powerful tool. It works either positively or negatively. If you imagine that someone will speak and act negatively towards you, this imaging will put you in an unresourceful state, and will make it more likely that you will help create that negative reality. With equal effort you can choose to utilize it positively.

Before women's liberation became the fad.... Golda Meir Here is a sample of the wit and wisdom of one of the great world leaders, When I read #3, I had to stop and read it over and over again. -- What a wonderful woman she was. #6 is pretty profound too... and so true. There is nothing I could say about her that would extol her more than her own words . 1. "Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement." (Golda with Ben Gurion) 2. "It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don't want victories anymore." 3. "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us." 4. "My dear, old age is like an airplane flying in a storm. Once you're in it there's nothing you can do. You can't stop a plane, you can't stop a storm, you can't stop time. So you might as well take it easy, with wisdom." (Golda with President Nixon) 5. "A man who does not hate war is not fully human." 6. "We Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs; we have no place to go." (Golda with President Kennedy) 7. "Let me tell you the one thing I have against Moses. He took us forty years into the desert in order to bring us to the one place in the Middle East that has no oil!" (Golda working in the Kibbutz.) 8. "We owe a responsibility not only to those who are in Israel but also to those generations that are no more, to those millions who have died within our lifetime, to Jews all over the world, and to generations of Jews to come. We hate war. We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown, and when strawberries bloom in Israel." 9. Don't be so humble, you aren't that great.

Rabbi Meir Kahane on Arab Riots and the Temple Mount

Last Monday, 17 Marcheshvan, is the Yartzheit of Rabbi Meir Kahane, who was assassinated by an Arab terrorist in NYC on Nov. 5, 1990. In 1993, the same terror cell which killed Meir Kahane tried to blow up the World Trade Center.
As we are currently in the midst of the latest round of Arab violence and riots, this clip of Kahane talking about Arab violence and riots seems rather appropriate.
As the Arabs are trying to claim their riots are about the Temple Mount, here is Kahane on the Temple Mount and how Jews should not desecrate Arab mosques, and Arabs shouldn't desecrate the Jew's holy site:

He saw a light and heard a distant rumble, but was personally unaffected by the bomb.")
