Oh My God, I'm Soooo Hot Right Now!

Dictionary.com defines humility as:

hu-mil-i-ty

-noun

the quality or condition of being humble; modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance, rank, etc.

So, in other words. NOT the title of this post.  

If ever in my life I've realized the importance of humility, it would have to be now.  I don't care if you're the pope, tom cruise, or the winner of the nobel peace prize.  If you don't have humility, you don't have much.  Let your accomplishments speak for themselves for god's sake.  I personally find that much more impressive and inspiring than someone who's gotta let me know, as often as possible, all the wonderful, amazing, and incredible things they have done/are doing/will do.

That's not to say that you shouldn't have CONFIDENCE, but sadly, there is a fine line between a healthy combination of confidence and flat out arrogance.  A line so very fine, it's often blurred by our society.

And while we're talking about confidence, what the heck, dictionary.com defines confidence as:

con-fi-dence

-noun

1. full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing

2. belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities; self-confidence; self-reliance; assurance

Now, just for laughs, let's see what (yes, you guessed it) dictionary.com says about arrogance:

ar-ro-gance

-noun

offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride

As human beings I truly believe that we should all "check" ourselves from time to time.  Let us make sure we are not, in fact, the things that drive us the most crazy in others.

(did that even make sense? hah)

So by all means, keep your head up high, be proud of your achievements.  Just remember that you're not the only one working hard, accomplishing dreams, or solving world peace.  We're all in this together baby.  Let's try and remember that every once in awhile.

Just puttin it out there.  That's all.
