Not in the Mood? So What!

Dennis Prager told about the time he was in fourth grade, when his rebbi said it was time to daven minchah and Prager said he was not in the mood.

The European born rebbi considered his feelings for a moment and then responded, “So what?”

These two words were pivotal in Prager's future attitudes.  He said he learned that behavior matters more than feeling.

"If you're going to act on mood, you're not going to be a good person."
