There are two ways people feel small:

1. Fear: Feeling small because someone seems stronger or scarier than you.

2. Awe: Feeling amazed because you’re near something incredibly great.

How can awe help you feel less small?

Here’s a simple spiritual lesson about understanding The Creator:

1. First (Lower Awe):

– Notice how amazing and powerful the universe is.

– Realize someone (G-d) created all of this from nothing.

That’s huge power.

2. Then (Higher Awe):

Think deeper and realize how tiny you are compared to The Creator’s infinite greatness.

Feel amazed just by standing in The Creator’s presence.

What can you do when you feel small?

Here’s your simple action:

– Look around, see something amazing, and say: “Wow,The Creator created this from nothing!”

– Then remember, you’re standing in front of greatness— The Creator himself.

Are you really small?

Takeaway: “You’re not small, you’re standing next to greatness.”

Try it.

See how it feels.

“You’re not small. You’re standing next to greatness”
