Book Title Bringing Heaven Down to Earth
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
« Previous Next »

51. Two Lessons

On the first night of Chanukah all eight candle holders stand before you. But you light only one. Tomorrow night you shall light two. You know that eventually you will light all eight.

From which we learn two things:

1. Move step by step in life. Take things on at a pace you can handle.

2. Always grow. Always keep moving. If you did one good thing yesterday, do two today. Your ultimate achievement is always one step ahead.

Two Lessons
This was a great meditation for me to read to start out today because it reminded me of my father - He used to say that I should pace myself with everything I do. And now, I make sure I pace myself and take lots of breaks when I am working hard at reading or writing or painting or whatever I do.

We all know sometimes in life the pace is not so easy to handle, but we must keep on moving with a positive attitude and trust in G-d to get us through.

Thank you for the daily reminders of what this life is supposed to look like. We need to all read these works every day. What a grat place this would be if we did. In order to keep the good in and the bad out you need to work at it every day. Thanks for the reminders.
