Arrogance Vs Genuine Humility
Our patience will achieve more than our force. Edmund Burke
Irish orator, philosopher, & politician (1729 - 1797)
Live life abundantly in this world by being truly who are you…however how can you be genuinely humble, when you are surrounded with self-importance or vanity? Dealing with conceited & self-centered people taught me how to become humble!
It highlighted that our arrogance is an indication of our weakness & ineffectiveness. And our inconsiderate behavior is causing great distress to others. When we portrait rudeness, impatience and sometimes arrogance or when we think we know it all, this prevents us from learning different and significant things.
When we are self-centered there is no time for true attainment. Unconsciously our behavior would reflect that we are more important than others; this quickly causes us to loose the respect of many! When we believe; we already know all the answers, this stops us in our tracks on learning much of anything new. If we never consider other people’s opinion, then we are continually held back by a narrow, limited, stagnant perspective. When we place all our thoughts & energy into our own concerns, the world seems a distant and unkind place to live in.
All challenging relationships, circumstance and events taught me; genuine humility. I learnt that it’s an indisputable representation of true strength and confidence and when I let go of the need to impress others; that’s when I began to be truly impressive. Now I readily admit when I don’t know something, and a vast amount of knowledge is revealed magically.
My genuine humility brought me respect & fostered mutual understanding, as I patiently considered the opinions of others. It made a world of positive difference in my life and opened me to colossal amounts of new opportunities.
When I opened myself to others with humbleness; life became infinitely warmer, joyful and fulfilling, overflowing with a sure sign of real, abiding strength and confidence.
I have no need for snobbishness, disrespect, rudeness and self importance anymore, as I became aware that it was making me desperate and illustrated inner weakness.
As I went through each of life’s moments and started exhibiting practical real, sincere humility, my own unique greatness started to shine through. True greatness is now firmly rooted in me in the form of humility, sweet words, consideration and respect of all and for all.
So after all, when someone is arrogant, remember to shower them with great humility, patience shown through sweet words, deep understanding and extreme love.
When you find yourself among envious people, don’t forget to become extremely generous; generous with compliments, generous with ideas etc. When we are being who we are, we give permission to others to be who they are!
If someone is angry, demonstrate great patience and consideration. Remember not to take anything personally! In majority of the cases, it may not be about you. It may not be anything you said or done. Most times angry people are mainly annoyed with themselves.
If your loved one is disheartened, bear in mind to lift their spirit with your wonderful smile and encouraging words.
Live life abundantly in this world, by being truly who you are.
If you are going through a difficult patch in your relationships, practice true humility and appreciation. It might help you to see a different angle. To enjoy love and respect in relationships we need to become sincere and open.
This is what life has taught me personally; it has helped me in my journey of my life to grow and be who I am today; Joyfully and Radiantly Happy!
