I SWEAR!
Yosef loved his father? For sure.
Yosef was reliable? For sure.
So why did Yaakov make him swear he'd bury Yaakov in Eretz Yisrael?
Because without an oath, Yosef would have done almost anything he could to bury Yaakov in Israel.
ALMOST anything he could, but not ALL he could.
But once he swore, Yosef would give it his ALL to succeed.
When you SHOULD do it, you might succeed. But when you MUST do, you find a way.
If there's a way, no matter how hard, you'll find it.
The difference between the lives we have and the lives we want is the difference between what in our lives is a must and what is only a should.
Transform your should to must, and b'ezras Hashem, you'll transform your hope into reality.
