חסידים הקודמים עשו הסכם בנפשם שכל דבר המותר, אך שיש לו איזה רצון וחמדת הלב לזה לא יעשנו, ועל ידי זה נעשה שבירת התאוה
Early chassidim resolved in their souls to refrain from anything that is permissible (by Torah law) but for which they felt a desire and urge. This breaks the passion.
A lesson I take from this is that it's important to start early before the next step is considered a fall. In the past I allowed myself to look here and there because it's anyways not a fall and I anyways can't not look where I'm walking... but now I'm trying to implement that I don't look even if it's "allowed".
Still going, feels like it is going to get harder.
