Shalom, and welcome back. Today, we’re exploring Tanya, Chapter 13. Life can feel like a balancing act, right? Work, family, personal growth – it’s a lot! The Tanya teaches us that our souls have two “inclinations”: the good inclination and the not-so-good inclination. Think of them like two advisors whispering in your ear all day. The good inclination wants you to connect with god, do good deeds, make ethical choices. The other? Not so much. So, how do we quiet the negative voice and amplify the good? The Tanya says: awareness! Pay attention to your thoughts and consciously choose the path of goodness. It’s a daily practice, but even small victories pave the way to a more meaningful life.
