Why is Being Humble Important?
The Archangels Answer the Question
I mentioned in an article earlier this week that one of my gifts is self-confidence. When I was younger, you might have described me as cocky. A professor once told my son that the difference between being cocky and being self-confident is about twenty years. I’m not sure if that’s due to wisdom gained or being hit with a dose of reality in the adult world.
While I’m still self-confident, I am no longer cocky, thank goodness. Life has taught me many things, and humility is one of them. I truly do believe I’m as worthy and valuable as anyone else on the planet, but I don’t think I’m more worthy or valuable than anyone. We all serve a purpose, and we’re all important. Lessons in humility are very unpleasant in most cases. There’s nothing like being taken down a peg or two or having to eat crow. I consciously work on remaining humble, so I hopefully don’t have to be humbled ever again. It’s a good and memorable life lesson.
Because I’m always conscious about remaining humble, I asked the Archangels for guidance on how to live a humble life and why it’s important. Their response follows.
