How do you step from the top of a 100-foot pole? When I think about this question, the first thing that comes to mind is lowering one's self and not seeing yourself as higher or more important than others. Many successful people have the tendency to see themselves as "higher" than those who are less fortunate than they are. In many occasions when an individual becomes successful, he/she immediately becomes filled with pride.
In life it is important that we always remember our roots. We need to remember where we've come from and how we started out. There are too many individuals who think that the world revolves around them because of their success. At the end of the day success and status doesn't even really count in life. What really matters is the type of person that you are, how you treat others and what difference you're making in order to make a less fortunate person's life easier.
Today I urge you to think about stepping down from that 100-foot pole and placing yourself in the shoes of others who are not as fortunate as you are. Remember that the important thing is life is not what you possess, but who you are...
Again humility is more valuable than any treasure chest. There's a time when you need to lower yourself to elevate yourself.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true, we shouldn't look down on other people no matter how privileged we may be than them. Someone once said "If you have a gift that others admire, don't be selfish share it with the world."
