Practice Humility

Practice Humility

 Be humble.

There are few personalities harder to be around than an arrogant know-it-all, no matter how much they actually do, or do not know. 

Nobody likes to be talked down to. 

In his book Resilience, Eric Greitens said it like this: 

I begin with humility, I act with humility, I end with humility. Humility leads to clarity. Humility leads to an open mind and a forgiving heart. With an open mind and a forgiving heart, I see every person as superior to me in some way; with every person as my teacher, I grow in wisdom. As I grow in wisdom, humility becomes ever more my guide. I begin with humility, I act with humility, I end with humility. 

Proverbs 11:2:
When pride comes, then comes shame;
But with the humble is wisdom. 

Colossians 3:12:
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 

1 Peter 3:8:
Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; 

I love you.
