Only when a person emphasizes his own smallness over G-d’s greatness is there the possibility for depression or insecurity. Essentially, this concentration on one’s self is actually only egotism cleverly disguised.

The focus on G-d’s eminence, His plan for the Creation, and the demand that we be actively involved in its rectification should ignite each of our individual potentials – all in humble service.

Fulfilling G-d’s commandments to our utmost abilities – participating in the reparation of the world – is truly cause for elation. In addition, the open-hearted flowing nature of happiness demands humility. When manifest properly, the two qualities of humility and happiness will be recognized not only as not mutually exclusive, but rather as quintessentially complementary.
