The Shabbos before Tisha B'Av is a unique opportunity for us to self-reflect and envision how to become the best version of ourselves.

The importance of protecting ourselves so that when challenges arise we don't feel as though we have to give up.

We don't always have the answers in life and we don't know what the outcome will be. Even when we don't think we can make it to the finish line, we can still take just one more step.

There is room for everyone to shine and your burning bright doesn't take away from others.

Sometimes instead of looking for someone else to take the lead, be the leader that is needed.

What happens when we make a mistake and there are consequences to our actions? The importance of persevering forward even when we don't get what we want.

What would it look like if Korach had had the opportunity to speak with a therapist about his views on Moshe? The importance of shifting focus from others to ourselves.

It is important to base your self-worth on your own perception rather than the perspectives of others.

Sometimes we have jewels in our hands but we mistake the jewels for worthless rocks.

Sometimes when we experience something for the second time it ends up even better and more special than the first (that is, if we allow it to be).
