Humility
“Create space for more of what you’d like to see; and give away more of what you’d like to receive.”
“The way we will encounter more humility and accountability in the people around us is by creating room for it. The only way to do this is by expressing grace and forgiveness, patience and compassion for people when they falter, fail and foul things up.
If people believe their imperfection will leave them judged and alone, their own survival instincts will unknowingly force them to flee - thus ending relationships - or fight to prove they are not wrong or at fault.
If their mistakes and misguided motivations are welcomed with empathy and safety, they can bloom into stronger, humbler humans…and then we, a stronger humbler society.”
