No Matter How

Thank you for this meaningful quote, Ms Lily Amis (An author) - 'You go nowhere in this world if you think you are better than everyone else.  Always stay humble, child, regardless of what you achieve in your life'.

A downfall in life is when I dismiss not to be humble.  When I disregard humility.  Worse, when I am full of pompous attitude and not grounded.  

I have to remember where I come from.  I have to remember my roots and all the struggles I go through.  I come from nothing and while I may think that I have succeeded, success is always temporary.  

There will always be many hills to climb on my journey in life, in all ways of living.  I am not more important than many others.  Every human is equally valuable, with success or otherwise.  I am not always right and that I do not have all the answers.

As a human, I have this primal instinct wanting for approval and seeking acceptance from others.  It is done whether I am consciously aware of doing so or not.  This type of approval to validate is at the expense of my soul.  At a soul level, there is no need for any sense of entitlement.

No matter how high I have achieved in life, there is always room for more developments.  When I cannot be humble at this state, I have created a sense of self importance.  I have become a slave to pride.

I have to keep my feet on the ground and stay humble always.  As a saying goes, 'No matter how successful you are, no matter how big your house, no matter how new your car or how big your bank balance is, your grave will be the same size as everyone else's'. (Written by Dave Hedges)

I love you.  I am sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.
