The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

good morning and boca tov and welcome back to this week's 10 minutes of meeting each week we get together for 10 minutes in order to try to become a better version towards the best version of ourselves and we employ the wonderful formula the magnificent prescription of the ramhara shakhim ludsato who takes us and tracks us through the formula of repencas binyair we begin with zehera's mindfulness conscientiousness to be present in all of our thoughts and our deed in our speech and then we move to the world of zeresis alacrity how to pursue our goals make resolutions yesterday thank you roger and lisa and i hope you are well oh wait okay we continue with perique you dial the 14th chapter of mesilas yasharam and we've been going through this quality the media of precious this notion that we're entitled to live with once we've proven we can live without that we cannot give in to every instinct and urge and appetite even that which is permissible doesn't mean it is healthy or good for us and therefore we need to work out our disciplined muscle we need to be able to express and reflect a level of self-control to be able to be disciplined and sovereign over ourselves an animal has an appetite an instinct and it indulges it it's unable to separate the urge from the action but we human beings we have discipline we have the capacity to manage our time and to manage our appetite and to manage our health and wellness to manage our relationships and our speech to manage all these components of our life and the way that we work out that disciplined muscle the way we improve and grow is through this media this quality of precious abstinence not in the negative sense that we are denying or depriving
