IS HUMILITY AT ODDS WITH BEING PROUD? LET'S FIND OUT.


Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own power- a  phrase from the book, The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. 

Humility, defined as the quality of being modest, is a key trait that can significantly improve our relationships, career prospects and overall well-being.

Humility is not a negative quality as some people in the world today perceive, but it's actually associated with improved cognitive functioning and higher levels of cooperation, team work and helping behaviour.

You don't need to be religious to be humble. Humility is not being shy or quiet or self-effacing. You can be humble without being humiliated or self critical.

Humility can make you genuinely want to listen to others and offer solution(s).

Being humble is not at odds with being proud; it simply means you can acknowledge your accomplishments, while also acknowledge your debt to others who helped you along the way. READ THE LAST LINE AGAIN!

The enemy has one goal; for you to change the way you're talking. The tongue is a creative force!  A few years ago, I literally was magneting good things, especially people of like minds, money, material things. Everyday favour was my lifestyle. I had a stubborn faith, it annoyed a lot of people, because they felt I was not being realistic, yet everyday brought even better favours. I got a job I didn't apply for;  a very good one!  B ut you see, when your faith is not being sharpened, even though you think you're standing, you'll wake up one day and realise you've hit the rock bottom! Guard your heart and space with all diligence! No matter who the person is, if they are not speaking your faith language, do not make room for them to feel comfortable with their faithless opinions and ideologies. If the church you attend doesn't stir your faith or belief, LEAVE!  Protect your faith journey by living daily on GODS' word and NEVER budge! THE WORD OF GOD WORKS! #
