Just Go Over

Today is the Yortseit Of Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch.

Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch, known as “The Rebbe Maharash”, the fourth in the golden chain of Rebbes of Lubavitch, had an attitude.

Many wise people say if you can’t go under, go over. The Rebbe Maharash said, "Just go over"

Meaning that instead of first trying to work through a problem by its own rules, and then -if that doesn't work -gathering the strength and courage to step brazenly over it...

Instead, just start by stepping right over it, as though there were no obstacle to begin with.

After all, that’s why obstacles are there in the first place -so you will go higher.

When I am faced with an obstacle, I try to identify what my thoughts and feelings are that keep me from going over it. Usually, it's fear.
My fears are only fantasies of my own thoughts. Today, I can ask
G-d to remove my fears. If I live in fear it will block me from G-d.
