Humble means not being proud or arrogant, and having a lack of excess pride. It can also mean being modest, unpretentious, unassuming, or insignificant.

I am not referring to any religious movement such as the He Gets Me mega ads that are out there and driven by a hate-filled man’s money. (Look him up. He doesn’t believe his own ad’s words!). I am not referring to any religious movements and beliefs at all. And I am not referring to the meaning that allows anyone in positions of power or have more money than others to lower another person to a condition importance or dignity below them, destroy another’s independence, or gain power and will or make meek those who are just trying to survive.

In this blog, I just want to put the word out there what humble truly means to me and should mean to everyone else out there in the world. Being humble means being courteously respectful of others even when we don’t agree with them. And humble means being what any human being needs to be in our world, even when it’s not comfortable.

Research suggests that humility is a quality of certain types of leaders and is studied as a trait that can enhance leadership effectiveness. For example, James Collins, (entrepreneur, wrote In Search of Excellence, among others) and his colleagues found that a certain type of leader, whom they term level 5, possesses humility and fierce resolve. The research suggests that humility is multi-dimensional and includes self-understanding and awareness, openness, and perspective taking.—Wikipedia

A little humility goes a long way. Hate and arrogance will not get us anywhere in a society that still needs to come together. I haven’t given up the next four years to fear like I keep hearing from others. I will continue to send out good vibrations to all those who continue to work in government in hopes that they can somehow make good choices and keep the people…their constituents…in mind when they made decisions. I will continue to express gratitude for the life I have been given and spread gratitude to others who are helping make the world a better place.

Love to all. Stay warm and safe these next few days.
