10894 —בחירת מנוחת הנפש על פני שאיפות מרובות

Choosing Peace of Mind Over Ambitious Pursuits

ג' אלול, ה'תשל"ג
The Rebbe writes that pursuing too much at once can be problematic, especially when the economic situation is unclear and subject to change. He suggests choosing a good and peaceful offering, rather than a large one that lacks peace of mind.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

The proposal is of the type 'Tafasta Merubeh' (if you grasp too much, you grasp nothing), in addition to the lack of clarity regarding the economic situation in Ireland after a few months—which could also change greatly.

And why not choose (to borrow a witty phrase) a good and peaceful offering, rather than specifically a large offering without peace of mind?


Summary

The Rebbe teaches that it is better to choose a path that brings peace of mind and stability, rather than pursuing overly ambitious goals that may lead to uncertainty and unrest.
