Pie, my humble pie

I think its safe to say that for most of us, in some way or another, have been forced to reflect back at a situation or a period in life that we would say, yes, this experience showed me humility.

It could be a failed relationship, marriage, situation at work, situation with ourselves, lost or defeat of a sport we do, family or friends. Whatever it may have been, we might have been forced into that state of humility. For me that moment in my life has risen. I’ve prided myself on my career and reaching high goals. I have accomplished those goals and many others. But, it can all change quickly, very quickly.

The one area in my life that I thought I was great at, the one area I that I can honesty say, I put  the most pride in......changed. It changed and I was faced looking at myself, my life through different eyes.

We are often told when something or some kind of hardship happens, that something good will come out of that experience. Yes, I do believe something great will come out of this change of events. But, until that change takes place, I am faced with a new face and that is humility!

Eating a piece of my humble pie, puts life in a different perspective. I think I have literally flush my body of self’s own importance. Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m a rock star in many ways, but there is a clear definitive way of being humble. I found this quote of which I must share. It is a great reminder to myself, right now, in the moment.

“A great man is always willing to be little.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

I may not like the changes of which I have been forced to make or I may very well like them. But, the quietness of my heart over the past few days is that perfect humility that I may have seeked for so many years.

And this my friends, is where I am at. I will eat another piece of that humble pie on Sunday, after some excitement of a dear friend whom has encouraged me to race cyclo-cross I will take a leap of faith and throw myself to the wolves, I mean cyclists. These are some fast people, experienced and determined, I am honored to be sharing the dirt, grass, sand, or whatever elements being thrown at me are.

So, my weekly song is a song I haven’t heard for a long time. A song that reminds me to keeping moving along!

Much love and peace to you all!
