Calm before more money — as Rabbi Landau teaches it
By Rabbi Shalom Landau.
Rabbi Landau teaches that the thing a person calls a need for more money is often desperation first. When the mind is consumed by money, every decision comes from pressure: chasing, forcing, reacting. Pressure makes it harder to see clearly enough to build. Calm is not laziness. In his words, calm is capital. Trust Hashem, then build.
