“All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. Humility gives it its power. If you want to govern the people, you must place yourself below them. If you want to lead the people, you must learn how to follow them. The Master is above the people, and no one feels oppressed. She goes ahead of the people, and no one feels manipulated. The whole world is grateful to her. Because she competes with no one, no one can compete with her.” ~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

You know what I have learned to really treasure in life? Humility.

There was a time when I thought that being humble meant being weak so I stayed away from it. But as I started walking on this path that I am now walking, and as I began to learn more and more about who I truly am underneath it all, I have discovered that humility is not a weakness but rather a strength. 

From my own personal experience I can tell you that humility helps you remain centered and connected with the you that is always loving and always connected with the Invisible Force that created this world and all things. And that’s when your start to experience a lot of happiness in all areas of your life.  

Humility is the path to greatness, your key to a happier life. To have a humble heart is to have a noble heart.  Humility is where your reals strength lies, it’s where your real power comes from. 

“When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, disinterested, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king.” ~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Knowing who you truly are and where you come from gives you a sense of humility and it puts you in a place where you can look at all things, all experiences and all people with love and compassion. And in this beautiful video, Wayne Dyer, the person from whom I have learned so many wonderful and powerful life lessons, talks about the importance of humility and how being humble can make your life happier. A really beautiful and profound message that will go straight to your beautiful heart and loving soul.

Enjoy 

P.S. Always remember, ‘True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” ~ C.S. Lewis

When nobody’s watching, I pretend I’m a moon sprite; transcendent, effervescent, ever curious. Yet my birth certificate says I’m a human born in Romania.
