The true meaning of the golden medium is not to be easy going and to not push oneself, rather it means to be able to have two opposite midos at the same time and know how and when to use the correct one. This is a very high level and not the cop out of laziness that most people use. An example of this is balancing zrizus and menuchas hanefesh , not being kind of lazy and kind of at peace.

Question on this great article Thank you for this article. I am just wondering how you would explain the Rambam's teaching of "shvil hazahav", taking the middle path in everything.

what about the concept of…. leaving a little for the yetzer hara? the torah world take on 'everything in moderation'…. I think that we need to always be honest with ourselves. In my own case, it means seeing the truth of this article but knowing i'm not entirely there yet….
