People have so many characteristics and different personalities and this is a good thing. We all fit together like a puzzle adding our own color to the big picture.
My favorite character trait has always been the humble personality. These are the people I am fascinated by the most. There is only a handful of people I know who are cut from this cloth and they have and still do make a lasting life time impression on me.
There is difference between acts of humility and an individual who truly possesses a humble spirit in who they are.I can't help but wonder and admire how they conduct themselves.
The six people I know who are like this all seem to have alot in common.
They are quiet yet assertive when required. They are highly skilled in the areas of their occupations and their hobby. They are not as you would say "a jack of all trades" rather specialized in a few. They completely lead by example. They are so calm they have a peace within themselves or a least that is how they appear to me. Lastly, but for me the most important is how approachable they are, maybe thats why I find myself migrating to them in the first place.
I think if a person could master their Ego ( kill it all together, for that matter) and just leave self -esteem and assertiveness in tact, could you wake up tomorrow and start living your life with clarity.
I find..., actually, I know when I have let my Ego and pride step into my conversation and conduct the outcome is biased and favoured. A humble person leaves their ego at the door and is receptive to all possibilities and is better able to judge their decisions with clarity, compassion and right thought.
There is more to the "Humble Guy" then meets the eye. Its like they have figured it out. They answer questions but only if you ask. They have an opinion but want to know yours too. They are always busy perfecting but they have time to share with you.
Who are these people?? Where did they come from??
They are Great!! ...but they will never tell you that.
