There are only 3 things that are absolutely true. The first is that all of life is about progress. G-od made a beautiful world, beautiful people, and beautiful abilities to progress. And progress means that we have to have 2 states, which is the secret of Jewish wisdom – the state of conception and the state of application – You cannot progress if you do not conceive of new realities and you cannot conceive of new realities, if you don’t take a step away from your current progress… Hence in Judaism, you have to think, contemplate…. moments of inspiration – Shabbos, prayer, consulting with your Jewish mentor….and then you have to apply it.And of course, even our progress is only G-d Gifted.
