The times we are working through are challenging and we see and hear stories of frustration and fear which occasionally manifest as anger -- I thought this wonderful post from Richie Nagger might be as comforting and humbling to others as it was to me.

Please post your comments to him.

Have you ever seen someone going about their business, working hard, focused, thankful in the act being done in such a way where it commanded you to stare or take a second look? People practicing humility can cause this.....

HUMILITY DEFINED.....not proud, doing something out of the goodness of your heart, not for yourself, freedom from pride or arrogance the act of being humble and an absence of vanity.......WHEW....

To me, this definition compliments what we agents and other professionals do in the "business" all day long. We are in the service business and when you see a pro in the flow, humility is right there making it memorable.

The one practicing humility benefits deeply because their sense of purpose is engaged and being carried out through the practice of serving others.

There are different states of humility......the highest being to putting others needs before your own with the least being to serve without recognition or acknowledgment. WORTHY NOTE: while it is the "least" here in this world, it is highly respected and coveted elsewhere.

People who have and...... practice humility are easy to approach and speak with. You will even be affected by their presence.....

When I was managing a large well known unit of a major restaurant chain, the owner used to come in unannounced purely for the pleasure of visiting one of his many units. He would not call any attention to himself and instructed us to pay him no mind when he visited. He would come in on Saturday or Sunday mornings when we were the busiest, pick up two coffee pots and make rounds...which was to visit everyone seated and offer them coffee. No one knew who he was and he so much enjoyed living and participating in his dream.....with humility.

I worked with a multi-millionaire who would race to answer the phones when they rang. All the employees would have to take the second and third calls. He loved talking with people who called, asking them questions and solving problems. When people called in and insisted on talking with the boss, he would say.....him speaking, how can I help you.

Another man I worked with who was very well off used to visit his places of business and pick trash up in the parking lots and surrounding areas. He never said a word to anyone, but others followed his example.

I once worked with a man who would clean up so thoroughly after working on a construction job site that I would start complaining about wanting to go home after while. "the place is clean enough" says, I. He says we go home when we have thoroughly cleaned up like we were never here. We argued for weeks and one day, I gave in and I learned the secret to humility.

I saw the Mayor today of this fine City of Riverside in California. There he was exercising on Mt Rubidoux and picking up trash as he went. Humility at work.....WORKS

Give yourself the gift of HUMILITY....and re-gift to others..

PEOPLE FIRST...THEN BUSINESS
