A Slice of Humble Pie

Man oh man. This subject..

Humility. 


We've all heard it before. "The best people are the most humble"
Today I had to sit down, shut up and have a slice of humble pie.


I found myself touring a school that I felt I was "too good" for. I had this established concept that I deserved to be in a four year university and not a community college because well, I was me. When reality, the school was actually too good for me. 


In life, a lot of people struggle with humility.
I mean, I don't brag about things. (That's tacky as ever to me). But I used to place myself on this pedestal because I wanted the better things in life. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing to want the best. But when you have a preconceived thought that you can't do certain things because you're better, that's when you start to reach your downfall.


I wouldn't say that I reached my downfall, but I came kind of close to it. 


At times, we feel like we're better than other people. That we're entitled to certain things when in reality, we're not. Unless you work hard and actually earn it is when you act such way. But even then, it's not okay. Because you start to feel  like you're just too good for everyone and everything. Especially, God. And well quite frankly, ya kinda can't do anything without the guy. 


So while I was busy having my melodramatic attitude about being "too good" I missed out on a great opportunity. Like my mom always used to say, "If you don't listen, you're gonna feel"


And boy did I feel today...


To wrap this little rant up..I kinda just had to realize that I'm not as good as I think I am and well, there are people in this world who are better than me. I just need to keep praying and working on my attitude. It's gonna be hard. But I don't ever wanna be in the place where I miss out an amazing experience just because I think I'm "better than that"


I really do hope this made some sort of sense....


Hahahaha Thanks for reading :)
