The people of Israel and the land of Israel both have similar properties. The first thing we have to do is remove all existing knowledge we think we know about life and science. We do this not because it is not true and real, but because where we are going now has nothing to do with lab-grown scientific equations.

Let us take a look at the history of nations. Those empires that conquered lands are long gone, since their entire drive was for power and status. They wanted immortality and eternal fame but still indulged in mortal deeds and behaviors. Their ideals were so far removed from their reality that their wishes paled in comparison to their daily deeds. Only those who have shown otherworldly vigor have made it into the history books, positively and negatively.

It is a story as new as it is old: people love heroes. Yes, some cowards made it in, and we remember them as examples of what not to do. But the common thing all those in history have is the higher spirit to either run with or defy the will of God. Those heroes took on tasks greater than themselves and were determined to succeed. The only problem is that when taking on such a huge goal we are destined to face resistance along the way. As the wise say, “We tend to deal with temporary problems with permanent solutions.”

Those who did not read the handbook called “Taking On Big Goals, For Dummies,” when faced with any challenge go all in to quash their opponent. Many times they forget their goal while getting stuck fighting forever wars that should have been brushed off years ago. Big goals require clarity of mind and peace in the heart, which result in actions that bring them closer to their desired destiny. But those who see only obstacles will bring rage........
