Good morning! Monday is back again and is time to get up and make sure that we start the week with a great day! May be a day where we can learn to be more humble. Ancient Greeks always stressed pride as a source of human greatness. But let’s not forget that pride is also the most serious of the seven deadly sins. Being humble will get you further in life, when compared to being just a little too full of yourself, or what we more commonly refer to as being “cocky.” What exactly does it mean to be humble? Humility, or the act of being humble, is characterised by an accurate representation of one’s self, in addition to a team-oriented interpersonal stance. Humble people don’t feel pressure to one-up those around them, or instil their personal beliefs. Humble people do good deeds, while others turn a blind eye, regardless of any retribution. In the workplace, humble people will make individual sacrifices for the greater good of the company. While none of these things will earn you a gold star, or feature page in a tabloid, there are benefits to living a humble life. You will have healthier relationships. Humble people will have healthier relationships because they won’t expect anything from others. Humble people will be themselves, and only expect the same from those around them. Humility allows no room for ulterior motives. Instead, the emphasis is placed on cooperative success and cooperative improvement. You will be a better leader. Humble people will always look to approach others on the same plane, even when they hold a position of authority. Through admission of their mistakes, acknowledgement of the strengths of others and improvement of those around them, humble leaders are better suited to model their followers to generate successful results. You will be more kind. Humble people are innately more kind, as they will never hold their values on a higher plane than others. Humility is predicated on perspectives of universal gain over self-achievement. Humble people will engage in far less conflict with others, as they’re naturally less argumentative and more inclined to help those around them. Remember, humble people will be better suited to understand limits, whether it be to their own or a specific situation’s benefit. With more focus on the context of a situation than their personal pleasure, humble people will understand that everything has its own time and place, in moderation. youtu.be/-07_2DWfEmQ
