DVAR TORAH
The Almighty told Moshe he would not enter the land of Israel:
"BECAUSE YOU TRESPASSED AGAINST ME IN THE MIDST OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AT THE WATERS OF MERIVOS-KADESH, IN THE WILDERNESS OF TZIN, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT SANCTIFY ME IN THE MIDST OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL."
(Dvorim 32:51)
Rabbi Meir Simcha Hacohen explains that the concept of din and cheshbon is a reference to in this verse. Din is the judgment for what one has done wrong. Therefore the first part of the verse mentions that Moshe trespassed against the Almighty. The second part of the verse is the cheshbon, that is, the calculation of what one could accomplish if done in the appropriate manner. Therefore the verse states, "Because you did not sanctify me." This means that if Moshe would have done what was proper by speaking to the rock instead of hitting it, he would have had the merit of a major kidush Hashem. {Meshech Chochmah)
Before doing something that is improper, think in these terms. First, "What is the harm of the negative thing I am about to do?" Then ask yourself: "What positive things could I do in this time or with this energy?" Some people are more motivated by fear of doing something wrong, while others are more motivated when they think in terms of what they can gain by positive accomplishment. By keeping both thoughts in mind you will be doubly motivated to do well and keep away from wrong. Similarly when you try to motivate others to refrain from doing something wrong, help them focus on both the harm of doing wrong and on how they could gain by positive accomplishment.
