A Thought from The Lubavitcher Rebbe

If you want your inner animal to stay kosher, chew your cud well. Don't let the stuff growing on the ground enter into your life without multiple ruminations.

First, ask, "Do I need to do this for my purpose in life?"

Then, once that question is answered, "What is its place and how should I use it?"

This is the path to a meaningful, uncluttered life.

Rather than the earth pulling you down, you lift it up.
