Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 866 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
People often confuse the difference between humility and pride. They believe that if they are humble, they will be naive and that they will be bullied around. That’s not what humility is; they also believe, at times, that pride is arrogance. That is also not pride is.
Let me explain the difference between humility and pride.
See, a person too often focuses on the frailty and the smallness and they become stagnant, unmotivated, and at the same time, they don’t have the self-belief and the strength of character or of motivation to keep and persevere in what they’re doing. That is not humility or pride; that is just a person who’s stuck where they are. When you get too caught up in yourself and you lead but you have a false sense of power, you think you are invincible; that’s also the strength of character that you have. It can easily turn into arrogance. That is not pride. Humility is knowing who you are, knowing your capabilities and accepting them.
Pride means knowing that you can grow, that you can become better and with what you know, you can help others. Pride is the knowledge that what you have has been given to you as a gift for you to share with the whole world, to make this world a better place to be for everyone.
Humility is knowing that what you have you didn’t invent; it was given to you as a gift; then use it properly. That is the difference between humility and pride, not arrogance, not above and beyond anything else of what is yours.
So use your talents, use your abilities, use your patience and the things that you have to help others. As it says, “if you help others get what they want, you will get everything you need”, and “if you help others with their needs, you’ll have everything you want”.
That’s what life is all about. You can teach another person on how to live, but can’t you teach them how to be happy. Happiness comes from within themselves. But if you show them by example the person that you are and you are humble and proud of what you’ve got and you share it with others, they will learn from you. That is what it’s all about.
