The reason people find it difficult to live humbly is the debasing tendency associated with humility. People tend to humiliate those who are respectful and revere those who project an air of self-importance. It is human nature to belittle the humble and admire the self-exalted. This unconscious dynamic causes many to avoid humility. While virtually everyone can be modest and respectful, the fear of humiliation often makes it challenging to live authentically, leading to the forfeiture of their God-given potential.
Fear is a primary factor that prevents people from living up to their true potential. The fear of facing the challenges that come with relinquishing their ego stems from ignorance of the benefits of humility.
Until one understands what one stands to gain and the requirements to achieve it, one can’t endure the necessary trials. It is akin to envisioning a preferable future and persevering through the obstacles to realize it.
The fear I am referring to here is a form of laziness. Those weak in mind cannot withstand life's trials. However, I believe that facing these trials is crucial for anyone seeking to fulfil the essence of their existence.
Ultimately, one can only live humbly and true to one’s essence when one understands and embraces the purpose of one's existence despite the accompanying challenges.
Live humbly and stay true to your essence.
