Teshuva: Hachna’ah (surrendering oneself)

BS'D

There is a mandatory step that one must take before beginning the teshuva process; hachna’ah (surrendering oneself). The Chovot Halevavot expounds - one must feel that in and of oneself he is nothing without G-d. All of man’s successes, strength and talents are solely bestowed to him as a Divine gift. Furthermore, each person merits protection from harm only due to G-d's endless compassion; not as a result of his actions.

Taking this one step further, we should place our entire life into G-d’s hands and rely only on His kindness and not take pride at any time or place. To put it simply; be humble before G-d, know that everything is a gift, nothing belongs to you.
