Things to Think About

“Humble yourself, or life will do it for you.”  Oleg Vishnepolsky

Over the years I have collected several variations of this theme, but I have to say, this one gets straight to the heart of the issue quickly.  Oh, how I wish that I had read this as a young professional when I was searching for my identity and driving for success.  Reading this today brings back a flood of memories when life fulfilled its role in my learning about humility. But, here’s the thing, when we truly act with humility, it actually gives us more strength and credibility.  One has to look no further than today’s political arena to validate this point.  A lack of humility is the weak person’s attempt at displaying strength.  Unfortunately for them, it is all too transparent to those with whom they interact.

Good luck on your journey!
