Being humble gets easily confused with being humiliated.
In today’s world, where in many occasions our public figure, the social platforms ‘facade’ has taken over our humanity and vulnerability, humbleness sounds like ‘a Bible preaching stuff’ or a ‘Jesus like’ behaviour that takes us nowhere and it is not even considered as an option.
If we want to grow spiritually, we have to recognise that the reality is quite the opposite. For example,m if you speak or watch any sport star, let’s speak about Emma, for example, (I am sure lots of you know of whom I am taking about after the US Open 😀💕), she has deployed a lot of humbleness to be able, day after day, since she was a child to learn and improve her strokes, her serve, and make minimal changes day in and day out; she has to face her fears, work on her mental strength, to feel her fear of failure - which requires lots of humbleness to fail over and over again and needs to be firstly addressed (by failing over and over again and accept the failure as a tool for improvements and not as a measure of our own incapacities) to be able to address the fear of success (same same).
She must have lost tons of games and had the humbleness to go back and try again, she must have won lots of games and had the humbleness to accept defeat again (sooner or later, again and again).
Being humble is the fundamental spiritual principle which will take us further forward reaching our most wished dreams and accomplishments.
It will take us close and connected to people and make our relationships worthwhile - when we humble ourselves and look at our behaviour and accept we are not perfect and will never be - when we say 'I am sorry' and we mean it: This will only be when we have dealt with the feelings that makes us behave in that way otherwise we will repeat that behaviour over and over again so it is not worth saying 'sorry'.
The more humble we are the more spiritual grow we will experience and the biggest joy we will feel.
Much love.
