wow thank you for sharing that. I love how it gave all those examples, sometimes you know there are things you need to work on but your mind is just blank—
Also, i just heard a shuir today that spoke about a similar idea yet stressed the point that during elul we should focus on both sur meirah and asei tov- the speaker said we should take on something little each day- one sur meirah and one asei tov. i think its a good idea too…
