Figuring Out My Worst Middah [#14684]

August 20, 2021

Question:

I am learning “Getting To Know Your Feelings” and I see that I need to need to work on all of the middos (character traits). In what order should I work in? How can I know what my worst middah is (the “garments” that my soul inherited from my parents’ personalities), which is my main task on this world?

Answer:

Generally speaking, the middah (character trait) that a person stumbles in the most is his worst middah and the one he has to mainly fix. The middah that a person finds the most difficult to fix is the root of all his bad middos. On a more specific level, it is recommended to hear the shiurim on “The Four Elements – Self-Recognition” and also the “Fixing” series. Slowly as you clarify your personality, with assistance from Heaven, you can understand and recognize what your main work will be.
