We’ve all met those individuals who are constantly “blowing their own horn”. I don’t know how you feel about this, but it makes me think they are insecure and uncertain of their own value, so they constantly try to convince people otherwise. I believe that each time someone tells you how valuable they are … their value decreases. The alternative to this is to work hard, play hard and let others recognize your value. It’ so much more satisfying for someone else to recognize that you have value instead of you having to tell them! Doing this reflects showing humility. We tend to think about ourselves first – being first in line, wanting to get the best steak on the grill, or getting the biggest half of that donut you are sharing or finding the best parking spot. Try taking the opposite approach. Wait until the line has fully formed and join it at the end. Let the other person pick their half of the donut first. Wait until everyone else has picked their steak from the grill. Drive by that wonderful parking spot and smile when someone else takes it. There’s a song by Tim McGraw called Humble and Kind. You should all take a listen and take a lesson. Here’s a good place to listen – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awzNHuGqoMc
