This week, we have been building up our Energy/Effort/Persistence (viriya) by focusing on the virtue (middah) of Order (seder). That may seem like a strange choice, but with a little discernment, we realized it was the right thing to do. Effort is one of the Five Strengths, and as such, it controls Laziness. When we thought about this, we found many examples of Effort in our lives, and while I would not say our Effort is perfect, we had a difficult time finding the flaw we needed to work on, or how exactly we could work on building up the virtue.
