Successful and Humble

The higher we get in our Successful Journey; the more humble we should be and grateful for our opportunities....
Making success is simply about learning Who We Are and knowing what Success is!



Most of us have seen those people who seem to have all the odds pointing in their favor on their journey to becoming Successful, and yet they seem rather conceited and not at all Successful and Humble.  If they need money to invest in something they believe in; the money is there.  If they need to go into business for themselves; the money is there to do it with.  It just seems that opportunity was born when they were.  They have the advantages of everything they decide they want to do.  These are the people that sometimes make us sit back and wonder what we have done wrong in our life and why we are not as blessed as they are. It is only natural and human to have these thoughts, occasionally.  These same people sometimes appear not to be as sympathetic to those who are not as blessed and seem to think they are a little better than the rest.  They wear the finest clothing, have the best house and drive the best cars.  They seem to think that things define who they are.

The simple truth is that having things without a challenge does not necessarily mean that a person is Successful. It is also true if you can't be humble with your blessings; then you are truly not Successful to begin with.

There is nothing wrong with being in an environment which gives you what you need, when you need it; if you know how to handle it.  Some people do and some people seem to think that just because their name is "Fred", whatever they want should be supplied instantly.  These people need some lessons on life.  They obviously have not had to want for anything and do not understand that most things in life must be worked for, and that sometimes we do not get everything we want.

Being Successful and Humble at the same time means that one is actually worthy of their Success.  It means that they know, it takes hard work and sacrifice just to make life livable for the average person.  They know that being thankful for extra blessing is the key to having more blessings.  These people have also learned that even "Sunshine burns if you get too much".  They know that God loves everyone the same and if they are fortunate enough to have life a little easier than someone else, they are truly blessed and should they have the opportunity to share their blessings;  it truly means they are Successful and Humble.

Being successful and humble should come hand in hand - and least when success was based on acquiring more knowledge.

By learning more, one learns that there's still a lot he doesn't know. He therefore becomes humble.
Also, people can be arrogant in order to compensate a feeling of failure ("my ego is already destroyed by the fact that I see myself as being a failure, so acknowledging that others may be better than me at something would be too much for my self to handle"). Success can elevate that need for arrogance.

Good point(s). A humble attitude is important both for a person's psychological well-being and for his continued success - being able to admit that he doesn't know everything will enable him to learn more and keep moving forward.

I am constantly amazed at how quickly people forget the help and assistance they got from other people in their reach for the top.

Always appreciate the people whom you rely on to make things function.

Success and humble, this are the tough words that may think. I inspired what your article mean. Fact that we need obstacle before we meet success. They might be in every where if we were selves do it and take it. Thanks!
