Today eye realized that health problems, economic hardships, or family difficulties-even our own actions-produce changes in our lives. I am a strong believer in no mistakes allowed, therefore everything for me is a learning experience. Either I learned that this method worked or I no longer want to exercise that method again, ya feelz me? O.k. here is the beginning of my point! I have been studying humility and how or why should I implement this in my own personal life. Ya wonna hear about it, heeeear it goes.....
Humility involves having a submissive attitude (or unresistingly or humbly obedient according to dictionary.com). By not playing down others' qualities and successes, we will better appreciate who they are and what they do. Also, humility may enable us to understand why something has happened to us and how to deal with it. With that being said, I also realized that of great importance is the quality of modesty or being aware of one's limitations. The scriputures says that the wise man thinks before he speaks-does he not? Better yet, a meek person will have mildness of temper in hot situations. Has someone ever cut you off on the highway, falsely accused you of some hurtful act, defamed your character or just plain hurt your feelings???? I know all have happen 2 me. But the meek person will endure these injuries with patience and w/o irritation, resentment, vindictiveness!! Developing this quality of MEEKNESS is so hard for me but I gotta try. I really admire the man Moses- from the Bible because he was the meekest of all. He allowed himself to be teachable and molded. He realized that when the above mentioned happened to us, it would behoove us to remember that we all have sinned and made similar mistakes and should try to let the issue die (what ever it is)at least on our end!
Recently, I dealt with a series of less than positive events and it is really tested who I am trying to beome/be. I just don't know if I can be a meek person. I want too- but reality is hard on my back. Some consider meekness a weakness and I comprehend that perspective.
All I want to express in this blog is this--Meekness is indispensable to our individual growth! All of us entrusted with being responsible for our families, our children, oversight of employees or leadership- need to be meek. We must resist being PROUD when faced with changes that enables us to deal with situations with the right attitude. Our reactions are important. Always view these opportunities that test our characters as people as a unique chance to cultivate meekness. Those of you I have wronged, Please forgive me....
I am WaRd......
