It’s amazing what happens when there isn’t such a thing as insecurity standing in the way. Animals don’t worry about if they can do something, they simply figure out how it can be done. And if it is physically possible, they will find a way. What is particularly great about this video is watching how the cat goes from the easy to the seemingly impossible, and each time literally pushes himself through the barrier. But when he finally can’t, he still doesn’t give up. He just figures out an alternative. The fourth Rebbe of Chabad, known as the Rebbe Maharash, taught: “Lechatchila Ariber” which is the concept that when we face an obstacle, we need to just leap right over it. If anything, we don’t need to even try to squeeze through, just jump from the get-go.
