“ Be humble for you are made of earth . Be noble , for you are made of stars .” ~ Serbian proverb
Such a misconstrued concept , humility … We have been taught that humility is subservience -- or groveling , or weakness , or obedience , or even low self-esteem . In reality , of course , real Humility is something quite different … Humility is actually the ultimate Strength — the choice to set aside selfishness to serve others ; the choice to set aside self-doubt to be true to the Caring Self within ; the choice to stop hoping for help and start giving the same … Humility is remembering that we are royalty , and then acting with appropriate benevolence . It is knowing that we DO make a difference … and then acting accordingly .
Today , while I am aware of my many shortcomings , I am equally aware that my actions DO make a difference ; that I DO have the power to make others ’ lives better …
So today , and maybe just for today , I am going to walk tall and BE the change I wish to see .
LOVE is a verb … … got LOVE ?
