Content: We understand happiness because we know sadness. We know what it’s like to have not because at one point we had. When we are humble, we are open to knowing more so that we can grow and develop to a higher degree. We never know everything — we are always looking for more knowledge and deeper experiences so we can see the entire picture to the best of our ability. In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few. -Shunryu Suzuki
Take Leaps of Faith
If we aren’t making mistakes or failing some of the time, then we probably aren’t taking enough risks or going deep enough into ourselves to really make a difference in this world. We serve ourselves well by choosing to be humbled by our experiences in life, accepting challenges and taking leaps of faith. Humble people are confident that life will refine them into more, better, deeper and that they can take the hits and grow. Do not fear failure, fear never doing enough to actually stretch. If we feel like we must be perfect and don’t allow ourselves to make mistakes, we are prideful and we will eventually come crashing down.
