Intent is king



Hi,

"Whether one does a little or one does a lot, the essence is that his intent should be for the sake of Heaven."

(Talmud, Menachot 110a)

Note: Taken in context, this is not a statement that a person may choose the most appealing segments of Judaism and make up his own religion so long as his intent is for Heaven. Rather, it is a statement that a person should not feel bad if he is not capable of  doing 'everything,' so long as his intent is to do as much as he can.

Have a great day,
Mordechai
