Welcome back, dear friends, to another episode of Daily Tanya.

Today, let’s delve into the idea of internal struggle, something we all experience. The Tanya reminds us that within each of us are two inclinations, the “Yetzer Tov” - the good inclination, and the “Yetzer Ra” - the not-so-good inclination. These aren’t separate entities, but rather, two sides of our own hearts, constantly vying for dominance. Our job, the Tanya teaches, is to recognize this inner battle and empower the good within us. How? Through conscious choice. Each time we choose kindness over anger, patience over frustration, we feed the Yetzer Tov, tipping the scales towards a more fulfilling life. Remember, the power to choose our path lies within us.
