SoulShine

The mishna says that one should be as "zahir" [literally - careful] in a "lighter" mitzva as he is in a more stringent mitzva.

Ohr Shivas Yomim the Heilige Ba'al Shem Tov: Zahir also means to shine. The mishna is teaching that one's soul shines with a lighter mitzva just as it does with a more stringent mitzva.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!

We often only feel satisfied with ourselves when we do something extraordinary. The Avoda: FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU FULFILL AN EASY MITZVA. You ate 3 meals this shabbos? AMAZING!!! You took a nap in the afternoon? AWE-SOME! You brought your parent/spouse a drink? WOW-EE!!

Your neshama is on fire.

LOVE AND BLESSINGS:)!!
