BLOG: SIT DOWN BE HUMBLE
BEHIND THE PODCAST
​
humility
hjʊˈmɪlɪti/
noun
the quality of having a modest or low view of one's importance.
​
I just wanted to challenge what 'humility' is defined as....
To sit down and be humble....doesn't mean just to be neglected or hard on yourself with a low view of how important you are.
​
YOU ARE IMPORTANT.
​
I love how CS Lewis expresses what humility is, 'Humility is not thinking LESS OF YOURSELF, it is thinking of YOURSELF LESS.'
​
I think it is great to accept compliments and encourage people, you can still be HUMBLE if you are proud of who you are and what you are good at doing, even if you believe you are important and what you do is important. It is just the perspective and attitude you have that matters as well..
​
It is just a matter of how much you FOCUS on yourself and thinking of yourself. The world doesn't revolve around me, or you. So let's not take all the glory and put all the focus on ourselves.
​
Allow the focus to be on other people, on Jesus, on showing that you are confident in who you are and you accept kind words, ad give them. However, you can also use the confidence and the influence you have to be a good example and to point everything back to Jesus. Knowing you are important and helping others find their worth and value is humility.
​
False humility is a big thing these days, where we have the skill or talent, or we did the hard work yet we push it away and say we didn't or it isn't about us.
​
Lets continue in doing things differentleigh, and without having false humility or a low view of our importance, lets be confident and focus on not thinking less of ourselves, but start thinking of ourselves less...
​
It is not all about us, it is about working together, to all see we are important and we all need each other to be our best version of ourselves.
​
Sit down, be humble <3
