When you hear the word "Humility" what do you usually think? We are always told that having humility is a noble quality to have. However the meaning of the word is many times misconstrued. It does not mean you are meek, quiet, and lacking pride. It means that the power of Spirit works through you, but you are not Spirit alone.
You have a beautiful relationship with Spirit which is infinite! In fact you are part of Spirit, and humility is about having a firm understanding of this relationship. You understand there is a Divine energy and in this life you align yourself with this energy and wonderful things happen. As you align yourself and allow giving and receiving you are using the Source to create things in your life, in others lives, in your community and to affect the planet. You weren't meant to be ashamed of this power, you were meant to harness it!
When people are in discussions about humility, inevitably the talk turns to humility meaning a lack of pride. Pride is not a bad thing at all. Pride is about feeling good about yourself as a person, your actions, and your achievements. Allow yourself permission to be proud of yourself. It is from this good feeling you feel the positive energy to go out and accomplish more. When people think of pride as negative, what they really are referring to is "false pride" which has nothing to with true "pride". "False pride" is feeling that you are somehow a better person or that what your life's work, achievements or even the material items you posses somehow make you superior to someone else. Other people are just as much a part of Spirit as you are. There is no separation, it is we who differentiate. They are on a different path and are experiencing different things than you in this life, that is the only difference.
Being humble also means that you were not meant to go it alone. You realize that there is a creative intelligence that you were meant to work with to help achieve your goals. The power of prayer and meditation is immense. Spirit also comes in the form of the people around you. If you don't have the wherewithal to do something, there are people who can, and you should allow them to come into your life when they find you. We all came into this world with different skills and abilities. We were meant to work with each other in Spirit. If we were meant to do everything alone, why we would all have the same gifts, all of them!
Humility is about understanding our limitations, being proud of who we are, and taking the energy of Spirit to co-create a happy and productive life. It's about walking in the sunshine of the Spirit and having the awareness that being a human being is nothing small at all as we are connected to something of infinite possibilities!
