Stuck in Your Own Delusions

Here’s a profound idea written by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman in his book, Be Within, Stay Above. It’s the last sentence that speaks volumes to me.

No one can predict the tomorrow of a human being.

We move from abject poverty to opulent wealth on a spin of the heels, from apathy to spiritual heights through a sudden flash of inspiration.

We are creatures who know no bounds, with limitless power to be whatever we want to be.

We get stuck—but not from a shortage of power. We are tied down only by our delusions of who we are.
