A Moment in Time: 2020 – Will You Bite off More than You Can Chew?

[additional-authors]
Picture of Rabbi Zach Shapiro

Rabbi Zach Shapiro

January 3, 2020
Dear all,
We try. We really try.
We try to start the year with resolutions, initiatives, and aspirations. We have noble and sometimes lofty goals. And while we want to go farther, reach higher, and live better – there are times that we bite off more than we can chew.
And we should…. But we shouldn’t forget to enjoy each morsel, each flavor, and each experience along the way. After all, it’s embracing each moment in time along the journey that, in reality, is more important than reaching the goal at the end.
So go ahead…. Take a big bite this year. Create an action plan for the resolutions. And if you don’t quite make it, be sure to really savor the treasures along the way.
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
