I like to think that I'm not any more superior than anyone else. But if I say that it makes me a better person because of that, does that then make me superior? Thats an interesting question that I think I will leave to the philosophers and those who know more than I, lol.
But I do know about humility. I can be humble quite a bit. I prefer to be humble and just sit back and let others take the limelight. I like to feed off of their pride and enjoyment. I think it has something to do with being a parent. There is no feeling like watching your child accomplish things that you couldnt ever accomplish. I get the same feeling watching other people accomplish things.
Perhaps we should start a #leadingwithhumility tag? LOL!
I know you have noticed that I kind of slipped away into the background the last month or so. Part of it was medical and part of it was it felt weird getting the notoriety. I'm no stranger to having my name on a screen or voice on a podcast. But it felt both good and empowering to me. That I created a hashtag that went somewhere. And everybody kept associating me with it. Thats not at all what I wanted. Thats what made it weird for me. The recognition should go to the person using the tag at that specific time. The act of generosity is what needs to be remembered, not me.
One of the my biggest faults about myself is that I try to do too much all at once. In my younger years I know that just came with my inability to deal with patience. If I want something I want it right now. I dont want to learn how to do it. I want the end result now. Now in my older years it feels like that has ramped up even more. Since I know that time here in this world is so short. I want to do everything right now. Because there may not be a tomorrow. So I'm still in the same boat unless I can make a change and just slow down instead of speeding up.
On a side note, somebody's gonna say it so it might as well be me.
Your mom is smokin!!!!!!!!
hehehehe yes - I did know that you had slipped away, but that is always ok with me. I also need to slip away at times. And honestly - I think everyone should! hehehe
I had tagged you once or twice in the @ecency discord - but that was just tell you hi and I noticed you were missing and that you were loved! hehehe
And - I do understand about not wanting the light on you for that tag. I didn't view it as a negative at all - I loved what you did, and I loved that you brought something at that time that will be forever remembered (in my mind at least hehe) It's just about honoring the people involved and sending them a little "hug" every time I speak their name! hehehehe
If you'd like me to stop tagging you - I certainly will though. Because I know that sometimes it can just feel off. And I don't want that for you! So you tell me if you would rather I just use the tag in the future.
But rest assured - if your name gets tagged by me... it's always with a hug and a smile - nothing more, nothing less hehehehe
I'm the same as you with patience. God has been teaching me so much about patience these two years. Because, I too - seem to have ramped up the "Are we there yet?" mentality. hahahaha Probably you're right - that it comes from being more than halfway (i guess) through life? And feeling like time is much shorter and we want to see the results before it's too late to fully enjoy them> haahahaha
that would be my guess - but.... I have learned in the last 2 years (especially) that patience is TRULY a virtue that comes with so many blessings. and that rushing never accomplished anything extra in my life, except stress. hahaha
it all comes down to faith I think for me. that if I trust that God is doing something, and I'm being faithful to be diligent with what He's given me - then I can trust that I'm not gonna "miss the boat" and that ultimately His timing is perfect! hehehe That's what my major focus has TRIED to be. Learning, applying, re-learning, re-applying LOLOLOL
my mom....
she is 68 now - and she is probably even more gorgeous now. The woman should sell her genetic material!!! hahahahahaahahah
Love you! and hope you are feeling well all around!!!
