"Humility is not thinking less of yourself... it is thinking of yourself less"
Pride and selfishness blocks our ability to grow, change, heal, and help others. When life keeps exalting you, it is easy to lose track of other people. Isn't funny how much more we reach out to our friends and family members when we are down compared to when we are up in life? It saddens me that this happens....
I realized the other day as I was walking out of work how I haven't called a few people in a while- I hadn't even thought of them because I had been so wrapped up in work, trying to figure my stuff out and enjoying getting the hang of it. I compared this to a month ago when I was scrambling to call these particular people to make me feel better when I wasn't feeling as confident at work.
Life is busy- thats just a fact of life... however, there is ALWAYS time for another human in your life...Always. Even if it is just five minutes. Realize that you need to take care of yourself but not to the extent of forgetting or lessening your outreach to others. No matter what life is throwing at you, we all need a friend...we all need a familiar voice.
Who will you call today?
