Not two of the most admired traits in the world unfortunately. If we think about how we define those two words we often get the sense that they are submissive, docile, easily taken advantage of. They can mean all of those things, certainly, but they can also mean gentle, peaceful patient, unpretentious, not arrogant or prideful, definitely more positive traits no?
In a world of "I gotta' get mine", "kill or be killed", "lead, follow or get out of the way", We tend to look toward the driven, the aggressive and the domineering person as "having it all together".
- What if the opposite were true?
- What if the meek and humble were able to be that way because they were satisfied with who they are?
- What if the driven and dominant were that way because they were on a never ending quest to be filled and to feel complete, like they finally had enough?
- What if meekness and humility were goals we set for ourselves and traits we admired in others?
- What thing(s) do you feel would finally make you complete?
- How can you put down that feeling and become content with who and what you already are?
