Today’s Just Be thought
This one is a two-fer. I started looking for a quote on blessings and found one on that subject and on humility as well.
When we’re focusing on the moment and not on how great or terrible we once were or are going to be, we can be honest with ourselves and with others. We also can see blessings in the moment as well.
Some people think being humble is to put one’s self down and tell others and ourselves we aren’t as great as others.
That’s exactly wrong!
Humility is the ability to give an honest assessment of ourselves. Not to bring ourselves up or down in the process. It means we can see the amazing beauty in our soul and heart yet still recognize the work still to be done to get us to where we want to be. And then, once we assess ourselves, we stop looking at ourself and move on.
Doing this with a joyous attitude actually attracts blessings. Or maybe not. Maybe when we stop looking at ourselves we clear a path to see the blessings that surround our life every moment.
This quote always makes me laugh. It’s funny because it’s true

“A man who can laugh at himself is truly blessed, for he will never lack for amusement.”
