Our sages teach us in Pirkei Avot, chapter 4 mishnah 1, “Who is strong? One who overpowers their inclinations.” We often think of strength as physical might. Yet, true strength lies in conquering our inner desires, those that tempt us to stray. Like a charioteer steering his horses, we must rein in our impulses and guide ourselves toward goodness and self-control. This is the essence of free will and the path to a meaningful life.
