„Let us wage war against the smallness that does not allow us to think…”

„Let us wage war against the smallness that does not allow us to think in tranquility, in privacy, upon the multitude of great things treasured in the soul.”From Shemonah Kevatzim I, 461

There are times when the smallness of one's environment does not permit growth and development. We look around us and see a desire to sink into smallness, to ignore reality and the possibility of changing it. Smallness can stem from various places: lack of faith, fatigue, despair, failed attempts, mistrust, and the like. We must wage war against smallness, not fear great ideas, not fear breaking through, building, and living in greatness. To fear nothing at all. And to believe.
