What’s said in this shiur

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

Good. >> Continuing our journey towards being become tadikim. >> So if someone jumps on your bed in the middle of the night and says what what are you doing with your life? You should be like becoming a tadik. And by the time you're 80 or 90, you have to be a Tadik. So you have to ask yourself what does how does a Tadik behave? How does a saddic speak? How does a sadic speak and think and act and all you have to do is think, speak and act like that and then you'll be a sadic in every situation in your life. You [snorts] spoke before about how do you improve your character traits. You improve your character traits by seeing everything in your life as an opportunity to improve your character traits. So whatever your triggers are, that person who you find really annoying, that's an opportunity to learn to be more patient. That person you're really jealous of, that's an opportunity to focus on what you have and what's good in your life, everything. That person who's dvening loudly next to you and distracting you, that's an opportunity to learn to focus better. So you're either going to walk through life feeling that things are against me and getting in my way and stopping me from becoming a sadic or you're going to walk through life knowing that everything is there as an opportunity to become a sadic. So you can say if I had a different mother-in-law then I'd be a sadic. If I had a different health issue if I had different children if I if something was different then I'd be a tadic. [cough] It's not true. you get exactly the conditions and circumstances you need in
