I came across a quote that really resonated with me:
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less
– C.S.Lewis
Brilliant. Insightful. Profound.
While humility has not been one of my strong suits, over time, the focus on self has diminished. I guess humility is the default?
It’s a slippery slope and a delicate balance between humility and ego. They are strange bedfellows, but must peacefully coexist. One rarely exists without the other, and the perfect balance between these two can be a work of art.
