One Halakha Closer to Becoming an Eshet Hayil

Tonight is 41 Days to the Omer

Day 40 ― Hod of Yesod: Humility of Bonding

Humility is crucial in healthy bonding. Arrogance divides people. Preoccupation with your own desires and needs separates you from others. Humility allows you to appreciate another person and bond with him. Healthy bonding is the union of two distinct people, with independent personalities, who join for a higher purpose than satisfying their own needs. True humility comes from recognizing and acknowledging HaShem in your life. Am I aware of the third partner ― HaShem ― in bonding? And that this partner gives me the capacity to unite with another, despite our distinctions.

Exercise for the day: When praying acknowledge HaShem specifically for helping you bond with others.
