Although humility is a core principles of my faith, it is one of the most difficult ones for me to practice. I think about it often, and believe it is a really good idea to be humble, but actually to be in that state, well, that’s where the challenge lies.
It’s taken an arthritic knee to humble me about health. When feeling well, I take my health for granted. Oh, I may voice gratitude, but my empathy for those not feeling well can go just so far.
My knee isn’t painful enough for me to stop walking or going up and down stairs, but I am aware of the dangers of overusing it and the inevitable results of the aging process. And that is another opportunity to practice humility.
