Something inspirational:

“With humility comes the willingness to stop trying to control or change other people or life situations or events ostensibly 'for their own good'. To be a committed spiritual seeker, it is necessary to relinquish the desire to be 'right' or of imaginary value to society. In fact, nobody's ego or belief systems are of any value to society at all. The world is neither good nor bad nor defective, nor is it in need of help or modification because its appearance is only a projection of one's own mind. No such world exists”.

  1. I think humility is something a lot of people lack nowadays. I taught my son about this at an early age.

    There is always someone else out there that has done what you have accomplished already. Stay grounded by being humble. A great way to be.

    1. Thanks Maria. I absolutely agree with you. Everything you say is absolutely true and yes to have humility and being humble is a great way to be.

    1. I am so pleased and proud that you did Brian. It doesn't what we use to get to where we need to be, as long as we do. I think what we go through in life makes us stronger. I believe we sometimes have to go through what we go through to understand our lives. You've come through a better person for it.

      Your determination to succeed to overcome your addictions is what has made you today.
