In all things be humble.

To be humble is to show humility.

Humility is the act of esteeming oneself as not higher than that of another. To walk in the understanding that, all which one has is a gift, and though possessed, one can never fully be the possessor of that which is gifted. Those gifts  and talents are the fruits of divine favor not earned but bequeathed to you. You are merely the custodian (the steward). What you have been given must at some time be given back. No more should a person boast his or her gift than the eagle its  natural inclination to take flight.

That which is gained can easily be lost. Talent and gifts do not guarantee success.

A humble spirit keeps you grounded. It reminds one of the source of all things and directs  one to work harder to cherish, protect, and grow those gifts and talents. This is the current that underlies the spirit of renewal, strength, and  mastery.

It is never wrong to take pride in your work, efforts, and accomplishments. The person who takes pride  shows they are passionate and take a great deal of care with themselves.  Having pride in oneself and having a proud and boastful look are not synonymous.

A person with a proud and boastful look are often wise in their own conceits. Such bravado and conceit, is always the pre-cursor to a fall.

Keep well the law of sowing and reaping. The seeds you sow ,that shall you also reap. Sow seeds of conceit and boastfulness, and the inheritance is wind. That which has been built will surely topple. What goes up must come down. Plant seeds of humbleness, and you shall reap the just fruits of honor, respect, and a  legacy. Character counts.

Practice humility and learn to become humble.
