The Courage to Help Others Soar Higher Than You've Gone

Nov 26, 2025

There is a greatness, true integration, and safety in a kind of leadership that trusts God's plan so completely that someone else’s success feels like the truest, most incredible victory. A greatness that encourages big souls to soar, to deeply receive, and to fly. When you help another soul soar, Hashem expands you in ways only He can.

There is a kind of leadership that exists that holds no scarcity or comparison. True greatness is the courage to help another soul become everything Hashem dreamed for them - even if their rising takes them further than you’ve ever gone.

It’s the kind that knows: your light is not diminished by another flame; it becomes part of a larger fire. The kind of flame that says, “Go higher than I have. I will not shrink because you rise.”

Only a heart rooted in Hashem’s abundance can love like that. True greatness isn’t about being above anyone; it's feeling rooted inside of your own soul, no matter what.

There is something holy — truly holy — about a soul that celebrates another soul’s becoming without shrinking inside its own. It’s a form of humility that isn’t smallness, but alignment. A knowing that when other lights start shining around you, you are living in a deeply special, impactful way.

We are created to become. Sometimes becoming means cheering for someone else’s receiving, even while you’re still waiting for your own.

It takes real strength to bless another person’s expansion.

To say:

“Grow, shine, receive

Your Be-ingness does not threaten mine, it only expands it."

That is emotional and spiritual maturity.

That is inner security.

That is the kind of soul Hashem can trust with bigger things.

When you help someone else step into their greatness, into their soul, you are elevating the world. You are choosing abundance over limiting beliefs and fear, love over scarcity.

And the truth is: What you give, you make room to receive.

Heaven notices every time you lift another soul higher.

Hashem expands the one who expands others.

Each of us has a path, a purpose, a light that is incomparable.

True greatness is knowing your place in the world is secure - and just by "simply" Be-ing - helping others Be too.

Being is a gift.
