"Are you humble?"

A friend of mine, Mike Podolinsky, emails a weekly success series from his web site at www.michaelpodolinsky.com. Mike is a professional speaker, business consultant, and trainer based in Singapore who helps develop people to transform organizations.

In a recent email, Mike talked about how to be successful in life and one of his key points was about humility. He wrote, “Be humble. Anyone who is not humble will eventually be humbled. This does not mean you have to put yourself down or have ‘false humility,’ or say, ‘Oh, I am not worthy.’ Being humble of heart means you are grounded. The Latin root for humble is ‘humus’ which means ‘earth.’ In other words, you are ‘grounded’ and know your strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and abilities and never think you are better than others. At the same time you are just as worthy as anyone else; after all, we ALL are ‘earth.’”

Sounds like Mike knows how to listen to life and make a life, not just a living! Ask God to keep your feet on the ground as you listen to life today.
