Nurturing Greatness
And therefore it’s very good to keep the great ideals to yourself. Sometimes you can’t help yourself. After all, you’re a teacher, you’re a parent; you must tell others. But at the beginning try to hold it as long as you can and suck out all the inspiration you can get out of it; only then tell it to people. That’s the way to become great.
Of course you have to want it. You have to want it very much! You have to want to follow in the footsteps of Avraham and Rivka and all the great ones who desired to become greater and not be shackled by the environment around them. And then you have to nurture these ideas in your mind. Nurture all of these ideas that we speak about here in your mind, as you walk in the street, when you’re sitting and eating, as much as possible. That’s the way forward for the ish haruach, the man of spirit!
Have a Wonderful Shabbos
