If you are really humble you will put yourself first when you need to take care of you.
~ Bryant Mcgill
Humility is not weak, powerless, faint, a pushover, a punching bag or an abuse magnet, because above all — humility cares.
Each person was meant to blossom into their own unique signature of greatness.
Real humility is graceful power, not a mandate to be victimized and abused.
Sometimes we may seem to be resisting letting go, when really, we just can't see a way to move forward — believing things can never change for someone as unworthy as us.
When we hold-on to someone's imperfections we become emotionally pair-bonded to their maladies.
The clearing is often only happening for us, and those who love us most cannot see or believe in our nascent visions.
Humility puts others first because first takes on new meaning through the practice of humility.
You are the first person who you should treat with humility. Respect yourself and let it overflow to others.
It is through our pain that we emerge.
In your tragedies you will find your most magnificent opportunities for rebirth.
What we want for others doesn't work unless they want it for themselves.
People who have had little self-reflection live life in a huge reality blind-spot.
Don't run from your pain — run into your pain.
If you relax your mind, it can begin working for you.
Act as though everything will be perfectly fine — because it will. Life has you and it's not letting you go.
Accept that you are not finished, and a new and better life is just beginning.
When you are broken open you get to discover for the first time what is inside you.
You are being guided when you need it most — if you will just listen.
Your total intelligence knows exactly what to do, because you were made to weather the storms of life.
Your greatest moments of challenge are a call to defy your timid habits of safety and rush out into life.
We are all made complete by our pain.
Everything in life will attack you if it senses your fear; animals, people — but faithful confidence wards off all manner of evil.
You are moving forward one way or another.
When the storm rips you to pieces, you get to decide how to put yourself back together again.
You have to have faith if you want to make it out of the woods. Faith is your only hope for deliverance.
If your options are closing-in around you and you feel panicked, scared and helpless, this is the time for action.
Accept that you can and will do what you must do, to take good care of yourself.
So stretch! Reach for it. Like falling down stairs, where your inner-genius takes over and saves you — your instincts are ready to serve you.
You have put yourself at risk to activate your instinctual genius.
Being broken open by the storm is your only hope.
Fear is always death. Faith is life. Have faith and your victory is assured.
Painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.
The further you are challenged and threatened, the more your warrior heart will emerge.
The truth only comes if you are willing to face some really unpleasant things about yourself.
Even the softest and sweetest heart was made by design for extreme battle.
To heal, you have to give yourself to the pain. You cannot avoid facing yourself your whole life.
Your soul has a resiliency and a capacity to endure suffering that is beyond anything you can imagine.
Fear is a prison where you are the jailer. Free yourself!
Big mistakes are an outstanding opportunity to showcase your ability to recover and have grace under pressure.
