HUMILITY SUBMITS

Humility is an act of being tender and soft towards others. It is an act of being humble in heart. An humble person bends easily without argument or being arrogant.

One of the signs of Humility is that it submits. An humble person submits to elders and leaders for learning and corrections.

One of the difficult things for a proud man is yielding to corrections, but a man with humility bends softly to learn.

Jesus Christ the son of God who came to the world to die for us sinners is the perfect example of Humility. Jesus Christ being the greatest teacher, He knows more than anyone on earth for He is the son of God, the second person in Trinity. Jesus Christ when young would find His way to the synagogue to learn the law, that He knows the Origin. He being God submitted under men to learn. What a perfect example of Humility.

In this our generation, the rich and great men, even those who have nothing do not see any reason to learn, they thought they have known it all. The truth is, nobody knows it all, and learning ends nowhere. The moment you feel you don't need to learn again, that moment, your wisdom have left you.

So, unlike Pride, Humility submits reverently to learn from others, both young and old, humility obeys without any sense of arrogance. Therefore, if you check your life and realize you find it difficult to submit to learn, you need a slide into the pool of humility.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them) Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal. Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal. Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
