Ten days away from Rosh Hashanah seems like not enough time to finish off the year the way I really want to. This reminds me of a short but powerful story.

A king once announced that whoever would reach the top of a very high tower by his deadline would succeed him. Many lined up to try. The bell sounded and they raced to climb the seemingly endless tower.

Hours passed and most of the people lost hope of making it to the top in time. Two men were still climbing when one said, “I’ve had it! Look, there’s only 10 minutes to go and we are no where near the top! This king is mocking us! I have no more strength for this, I’m done!” and he left.

The last man was also exhausted but he declared, “My king is a loving king and I trust that he did not set us up to fail. I’m going to keep on going and even though I have no idea how, I am totally open to the possibility that I can get to where I need to go in time.” Just as he finished speaking he got to the next level and found a door with a sign: “Express elevator to the top.” He took it and reached the king who was waiting for him with open arms. “I am SO happy that you didn’t give up! Now you can receive my blessings!”

This is a little clarity reminder that G-d has infinite ways to get you an express elevator to where you most need to go as long as you don’t give up. G-d has the greatest blessings waiting for you. He is waiting for you to trust in His infinite love.

From this place of trust in His love we can make it to Rosh Hashanah resolved to not give up on going to G-d, improving ourselves and embracing others.
