Remember Mindfulness – review expectations
Spiritual growth
In peace, there’s nothing so becomes a man
as modest stillness and humility.
W. Shakespeare, King Henry V.
Humility is the virtue that brings us closest to reality. That makes it very important in addiction recovery. True humility does not allow false pride; it enables us to learn from others and it allows us to ask for help without feeling ashamed. It allows us to understand our weaknesses and to admit our mistakes. It is hard to imagine spiritual growth without humility. Do I understand that I need humility if I am to grow spiritually?
Humility is a difficult virtue to attain because it involves mastery of the ego. It is quite natural that I should care how other people regard me, because I am a social animal. But if I make myself seem better than I am, I live a lie. Much better to be honest. Today I will meditate on the words of the apostle, James:
Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will lift you up.
