I love this heading and I love the song by Tim McGraw. I am human and I have many flaws, which is why I love writing this blog, I am true and real to all my flaws and I love learning from them. Trust me when I say, Although we learn lessons, we sometimes need to be reminded of them as we don’t always learn something and remember it, sometimes we go back to our old ways and need to be reminded to be humble and kind to others.

I truly enjoy reading my old posts and sometimes I laugh at what I had written because I have changed the way I approach certain things in my life. Change is such an important part of our life. I would say being humble and kind is an ever changing feeling. One moment we can be so irritated at something or someone, and then if we truly think about why we are so irritated and throw in the three words, “humble and kind,” we can change our way of thinking about how irritated we are and become humble and kind if we have it within ourselves (which we all do, it is just wanting relaxing more than irritation).

I believe being humble is believing we are all equal, never looking down on others because they don’t have what you may have, act the way you act, or give as much as you can give. Sometimes being humble is hard for people because they are on the other side of the spectrum. They have trouble asking for help from those they may believe are above them. Humble is being the strength to see those who need help. Humble is never thinking you are better than anyone else.

Being humble is not bragging when you have paid it forward. Yes, it is nice to let others know doing nice things for others is great, but always bragging about it takes the “humble” out of being humble, if you get what I mean. Being humble is allowing someone to be excited about something they accomplished without you telling them you have done the same thing already. There is nothing worse than being excited about doing something and then someone say to you, “yea, that’s great, I did that many years ago” or “Awesome, let me tell you when I did that.” This absolutely deflates the joy from the individual trying to tell you about their story and puts all the focus on yourself. This is truly not being humble.

Our world needs so much more humble and kind within it. If you don’t agree with how someone thinks about something, be humble and allow them to talk about their thoughts, you don’t have to agree with them, but you can be humble and kind by listening without judgement. Yep…this is hard to do, but differences gives us options to think about and listening shows a sign of being kind.
