"People that put themselves above others will fall longer and harder" - Gina Lindley
In a world of Facebook and Twitter, where people are constantly showcasing their latest and greatest accomplishments, it is very easy to feel like you are not measuring up. Keeping up with the Joneses is now available for your viewing pleasure!
Humility is underrated, while showcasing one's personal talents and achievements is a priority. I have to keep reminding myself that without many of the people in my life, I would not be where I am today. It is by giving freely of their time and energy that makes them a good friend.
Now I think it is fabulous and essential to be proud of your own personal successes, but I think it is important to be thankful and mindful of the path that led you to where you are. And perhaps it would be refreshing to step away from looking at your own life to instead give thanks for what you do have by being there for a friend or family member in need.
