Middos Improvement

People think that having bad middos is a menace to society. That is true but only a partial truth. When one has bad middos the person who suffers the most is the person himself. It is like smelling bad - the people around such a person suffer but the person has to smell themselves every second so he suffers the most. 

The absolute פלא is that there are seemingly frum Jews who believe in Hashem and Torah who don't actively work on improving their middos daily. They don't frequently make a חשבון הנפש with regards to where they are holding with their middos - כעס, שנאה, אהבה, קנאה, זריזות, שמחה, עצבות, אכזריות, נדיבות, כילות, נושא בעול עם חברו and the list goes on and on. 

Literally a פלא b/c the גר"א says that we came to the world in order to perfect our middos [among other reasons]. 

So sweet friends - the best day to work on your middos is TODAY! אין ועתה אלא לשון תשובה.
