Be Humble or Get Humbled

in #humility7 years ago


I felt like I haven't known what to write all day. It's been a bit of an emotional overload and I'm just trying to keep myself positive. I wasn't really able to sleep much last night, just read my poem I posted if you want an idea of what my head space is like. While I was unable to sleep and fighting to keep my own peace, I realized that I hadn't heard from one of my steem friends or seen a post of hers in a few days. I left a reply to check on her and found out this morning that she has been in the hospital and got a good reminder that everyone is fighting a war we know nothing about.

I felt compelled to raise awareness after she shared her husbands post and then I had to face my own self afterwards. I never really have a problem making a decision and acting when something is important to me. My trouble comes on the back end of questioning myself and my own intentions. One of the people I was sharing the post with ended up showing me a lot of kindness as well and while I was extremely grateful it made me reflect on my intentions. Did I do the right thing? Did I expect to get anything out of it? Am I doing this for the right reasons? I don't really doubt myself as far as doing things that effect my own life anymore, but sometimes I jump into things like this and realize that I didn't even think about it.

I guess it's a good reminder to have faith in myself and others. I know what kind of person I am and what my intentions are and I shouldn't doubt that. I imagine that her husband struggled with even writing that post and asking for help, I mean he said as much, but I understand that feeling of helplessness and wishing you could do anything to fix something and having no control over the situation. It's another good reminder to have faith. I don't need to understand why any of it is happening or why I felt compelled to help. I just need to know who I am and what my intentions are and have faith that it is going to all work out for the best! Surprisingly, this has been the hardest post I have written in a while. Best wishes @girlbeforemirror and @azurejasper for sharing with us and giving us an opportunity to be of assistance! Namaste.

AMEN!

We're all one, so we're all one big team right?

you bet, that's exactly how it is! :)

Hi
I am looking back at the past 18 months and thinking about the people who have been important to me during this very testing time.
You were and still are like an angel sent to me during the hardest of times.
I watch you grow as philosophical word smith. I never tire of your words.
When are you going to secure a song writing contract. Your words are made for broadcasting. Whether through song or rap or spoken word.
I'd love to see you rock the open mike.

Anyway, I hadn't seen this before. I want to tell you. I love and appreciate you. You are important You are special, you are unique. You have the potential to be a voice for many.
I am proud that you were a voice for me.
Peace x

I got nothing but love for you, I don't dry rainbow zebras for everyone. :) I added you on Discord too FYI, I know steemit chat had issues or went down or whatever, but I usually check Discord everyday. I hope you guys are doing well over there on the upside down side of the world. :D

And flying camels when I'm having a self indulgent hump day . 😊🌈🐪💜

you dont tell me what to do! Im neither humble nor going to be humbled

Good luck with that!

Do the right thing and the universe will provide. It has happened in my life so many times, it's illogical for me not to believe. Keep having faith buddy and it will all work out :)

Awesome post! Everyone Stay Humble!

Humility is something we all should have because none of us are perfect.

We are all human and humans make mistakes. Mistakes teach us humility.

As long as we learn from our mistakes we can grow and it sounds like you've grown and come along way from who you used to be.

Own that, be proud of that because that is something to be proud of.

Great post. :D

Thanks for the encouragement!

You're welcome. :D Take care. :D

You've got a huge heart..I can see that thru your writing <3

Thanks, I just have to remember that I am who I am now and not who I used to be. Sometimes I have to really reflect and remember that.

It's good to remember... and to know that whoever you were and whatever you've done have ALL gone into the making of who you are today. The good, the bad and the ugly are all welcome because those blocks laid the foundation of 'YOU'.

Very true and wise words! Sometimes we all need a reminder. :)

I totally agree.
Be humble or prepare to eat some humble pie.

That's the best part of being humble--it comes with pie . ;)

I was thinking about that post as well.. great post man..I too believe humility is underrated nowdays

Staying humble that's what's up

We are all in this thing as ONE and we are all connected in more ways than we can ever possibly know. Be the change you want to see, and it will happen, every single time. Keep the faith my man, best wishes of health and happiness to your friends!

i honestly don't know what i can say to help you feel better. but i definitely think you did the right thing, so stay strong!

I'm fine now, I just had to go clear my head for a while. I've got to remember that LoA works both ways and not to question it. It was kind of unexpected how things played out and I just had to be clear in my own intentions.

so nice post you know humbleness and harmony these are the main things that should be found in a human , a person who i humble and down to earth is as good as an angel , and jesus also tech all these lessons and i'm sure he will come back soon

the main thing in this world to love people and love jesus and in this way jesus and his people will be happy and i also awake people by my post about Jesus second coming in this world i hope you are with me to spread this post in steemit community i hope you like and resteem it, i want every one knows that our lord jesus is coming soon if you think that it should be resteem than kindly spread , we posted whole day for us one post is for jesus from us about his coming is mandatory . thanku

I'll check it out on my curation account!

Feel dont think . Love and serve. Follow your heart :)

Thanks for your thought and personally it is also why I prefer Confucianism and Asian cultures above many Western cultures in which modesty and staying humble is seen as being weak. While arrogance is seen as a good thing and often confused with knowledge and the best way to make things done

Guess it is not strange that Asia will probably be the center of the world in the 21st century.

I agree 100%.

i experience just the same but there is no need for that, it will just deter you from carrying out acts that can help others. I didn't know how to format my post even in terms of the donation aspect. i concluded on a way and i did experience what you experience but did a post. Working on one more post for it!

I believe your a good guy Terry or I wouldn't have talked to you about it! Your Our Boy Terry after all!

Yes going to try comment now, so they know they have some more support

In the words of Tim McGraw, " always stay humble and kind..". Agreed. One is never more free than when they realize they are free to be a blessing to others. One of my favorite passages is from Philipians 2:3-4. Truth!

Very true, sometimes it's just a lot to take in.

Great post! It all comes down to having faith like you said, all the best ! 🙏

I missed you.

:) Glad you found your way back!
