I have a deadly long-time client on my mind. We solved this problem ten years ago, but it is back with a vengeance. He is a Gemini. We are making sense together.
It was in this process that I came to believe that most human problems can be solved with a little (or even some) humility. This may sound silly, but let’s see.
If someone lacks humility, they will let it all out. It’s always the other person’s problem or lack of it. Consequently, they never work on themselves. Talk about a vicious cycle!
Humble people also live at war with the truth. “It should be so. I should feel that way. This should not happen.” Humility accepts: “What’s going on or what happened. Now what?” Also hordinary people can learn. They may say, “I didn’t know that.” They can ask for help. “Can you help me with this?”
Humility also prevents you from wanting everything for everything … and it must be proven and maintained every day. ugh. Remember that excessive modesty is another form of ego.
It’s a radical idea in an age where everyone’s attention is optimized. However, I believe it to be true. The next time you’re stuck, ask yourself, “What would I do if I were humbler?” ask that.
