Yetzer Hara Trick # 72

So at the beginning of shemonei esrei or bentching we go into it with a lot of kavanna - right ?

"Gosh at that pace - I'll never finish! I'll be here all year !"

So then you speed it up a little ....

"Wow, davening / bentching is just flying by ..... Wait! We're up to that part already ?!?!?!"

"If I slow down now I'll be such a hypocrite - slowing down just to show that I don't bentch / daven too fast ... I'll just finish up at this pace - but next time, next time - I'll really have kavanna !"

( go to top of post ....... )

'till next time,

R' Druyan
