Our sages teach: “Who is mighty? One who subdues one’s inclinations,” says Ben Zoma in Ethics of the Fathers.

Think about it: how many times do we struggle with our desires? Whether it’s that extra slice of cake or the urge to hit the snooze button, our inclinations can lead us astray.

But true strength lies in recognizing these urges and choosing a different path. This is the path of self-mastery, the path of growth.
