One Apple A Day #836 - Humility
This an extraordinary virtue; one through which the human being recognizes his own limits, escaping from any form of arrogance or oppression. To me, humility is the ability to acknowledge and embrace my own humanness, with all its imperfections and beauty.
When I do that, I release the judgment on my self and others, I am more open to learning and less stressed by my own mistakes.
However, as many strengths, also humility can become a hinder if left unchecked. Many times I used humility as a way to hide, fearful of my own potential. As if shining of my own light was a fault.
But I know we can shine and be humble at the same time.
We can recognize that we are a speck of dust in the universe, and at the same time, each human being holds the whole universe within.
