The Power of Modesty

1/18/2011

By being yourself, you are already naturally great at something.  The world WILL know about it, but you are forced to decide HOW you will let it know.  I see two plausible ways of doing this.  The first being that you can waive your hands around in the air, proclaiming to the world just how wonderful you are.  You might however choose another route, which is a more subtle way of expressing yourself.  By NOT calling attention to yourself, others will STILL notice how fabulous you are, and may even respect you more, letting them discover it on their own.
 
I personally find this quality extremely attractive in individuals and am drawn towards their personalities.  One of my own personal goals is constantly striving to become a more modest person, and fittingly all of the role models I have had in life have emulated this quality in one way or another.  How will YOU show the world how fantastic you are?

The ego is our archnemises and the diffuser of modesty. When the ego is brought into the equation, our intention is skewed, the results are by chance, and our identity is muffled. BUT...once we have a new level of awareness that this side of us exists, then we will have the opportunity to change what we do in order to have a different achievement (which is by choice) manifest each moment going forward. Therefore, kudos to you my man because you are already conscious of the importance of controlling your ego and never allowing it to dictate what you stand for, who you are, and what makes you...YOU!
