WORD OF THE DAY : HUMILITY



Humility is defined by the English dictionary as the quality or condition of being humble; modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance, rank, etc.
Humility is something that is gained and practiced as we grow in wisdom and grace. Easton’s 1897 Bible Dictionary defines “humility” as: a prominent Christian grace. It is a state of mind well pleasing to God; it preserves the soul in tranquility and makes us patient under trials [1] Biblical speaking, humility is the opposite of pride.  And according to one the saurus source, some other antonyms for humility are: arrogance, assertiveness, egoism, pretentiousness, and self-importance.
Humility is the true key to success. Successful people lose their way at times. They often embrace and overindulge from the fruits of success. Humility halts this arrogance and self-indulging trap. Humble people share the credit and wealth, remaining focused and hungry to continue the journey of success.
The first test of a truly great man is his humility. By humility I don't mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and what he can do.
If we learn not Humility, we learn nothing and without Humility there is no humanity. Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility. Remember, with pride there are many curses but with humility there are a lot of blessings. Try Humility and enjoy all it entails.
