Please take a look at: https://www.aish.com/j/j/132691198.html. Sometimes, it helps to put things into a larger perspective.
What do you think it takes to be a good preacher?
If it's God who created the universe, sent Jesus into the world to save us, and moment by moment gives you the breath that fills your lungs, what responsibilities do we have as His children in spreading His word?
How would you define a successful person?
Are you a success?

Please listen to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgQf5tx1hi4 and see what you think.
Walking onto a stage in a theater production must be heady stuff. All of the preparation on the part of the set designers, the costumers, the makeup artists, the musicians who have trained, the countless hours in rehearsal, it all comes down to this moment, this very second when the first line is uttered as the dialog between the audience and cast begins anew.
Do you ever embark on anything new and feel totally prepared?
How prepared do you think God is for those big moments in your life?
Is there really any such thing as a "small moment" in life?

Part of the attraction of the Harry Potter myth is that all of us seek to step into our destiny, find who we really are, and achieve greatness by owning our true identity.
Are you proud of who you are today?
How has your vision of your place in the universe changed since you were 10 years old?
Would that 10 year old boy or girl recognize you today?
Do you feel that your true self has been revealed in your life?

Carpe diem was Robin William's advice to his students in Dead Poet Society.
What are some of the opportunities that have come along in your life that you passed up?
Why didn't you give that a try?
How important is timing in life?
Do you think that God puts opportunities in front of us that only last for a time?
Why is that?

Shalom!
