The wisdom in this saying applies to more than just athletic competitions, it's a mantra for life and, more specifically, for our spiritual journey.  In this episode we illuminate the importance of gradual, incremental progress in spiritual development. We are warned of the danger of trying to leap too far forward in our spiritual journey, the stumble that often ensues, and the discouragement that follows.Rabbi Wolbe shares a heartwarming tale about Rav Moshe Feinstein, emphasizing the immense value of each small step taken in the journey of spiritual growth. As we prepare for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we should focus not on making huge changes in our lives but instead on making one small, meaningful change.
