Attempting to grow amidst humiliation and shame, Humility will struggle to thrive.
Yet, without humility, our ability to share the fullness of
our life out in the world is thwarted . Humility is
the ability to stand tall, not with pride (which is a mask for covering shame
and humiliation), but with a willingness to be seen as who we truly are; with imperfections and the awareness we will always continue to become more of ourselves.
In the garden of our soul, shame is a tough and
bitter herb. Humiliation has thorns as sharp as those of the thistle. Pride is like the rotten trunk of a tree, easily uprooted and
blown over by the wind, crushing tender shoots under the weight of her fall.
Self Reflection: How will I nourish and tend the increase of my humility through self-care and kindness toward myself?
