235. Without Measure - Daily Dose of Wisdom

As soon as you start measuring good deeds, to determine which is greater, which takes priority over the other—you have already entered precarious ground.

Your job is to do whatever is sent your way.

if not now, when?

do not put off doing a small kindness because you are planning to do a greater one; take every opportunity to serve others and to serve G-d as it presents itself.

"without measure"

Can I take this to mean that what I do NOW is potentialy more important than anything that I have done in the past, simply because it is what I need to do now (and it can effect both present & furture) ?

Am I getting it ?

Thank You.

Good Deeds

This reminds me of the credo of AA..."do the next right thing". Isn't that all rightoeos is? Doing the right deeds G-d puts before us as He enables us to do them.

question

Please, can you explain how this can apply to my daily life? There are so many instances where seemingly a calculation needs to be made when one feels like they can't do "everything" that comes their way.

I know that everything that the Rebbe says is a practical life lesson, this one is just hard for me to fully understand.
