120. Going Over

E-mail

Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch, known as “The Rebbe Maharash”, the fourth in the golden chain of rebbes of Lubavitch, had an attitude.

Many wise people say if you can’t go under, go over. The Rebbe Maharash said, “Just go over.”

Meaning that instead of first trying to work through a problem by its own rules, and then -if that doesn’t work -gathering the strength and courage to step brazenly over it…

Instead, just start by stepping right over it, as though there were no obstacle to begin with.

After all, that’s why obstacles are there in the first place -so you will go higher.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

agreed with too obtuse comment
its an incredible concept, but I struggle with knowing how to implement it.
this one needs a "digestive enzyme" to understand how to implement it to use in daily life.
