Stop Giving One Person So Much Power
No created being can help or harm another except with the Creator’s permission.
Chovot Halevavot – Shaar Habitachon
Their Decision Has Limits
When one person’s answer matters a lot, your whole mood can start hanging on them. You replay what they said, worry about what they might do, and try to read every signal. Rabbeinu Bachya says that when we really understand people have no independent power, the heart becomes less afraid of them and less dependent on them. You can deal with the person without making them the center of your security.
Reflection
Whose reaction or decision has been taking up too much space in my head?

What is Habitachon?
Habitachon helps you build a daily practice of growing in bitachon: one Torah insight, one reflection, and one practical avodah, in about one minute.
The one minute is your daily minimum. The goal is not to finish more content. It is to return each day and gradually bring more trust in Hashem into real life.
Start with the guided seven-day beginning. Choose a dependable daily moment, protect the one-minute minimum, and then continue with the current Habitachon lesson each day.
Bitachon is a muscle. Habitachon helps you strengthen it every day.
Build the Bitachon Habit
Begin with a guided seven-day journey, then continue growing with one short Habitachon lesson each day.
