About

This morning I was reading John Maxwell’s new book on leadership called Leadershift.   He was talking about the importance of humility and quoted pastor and author Rick Warren who tells us: “Humility is not denying your strengths. Humility is being honest about your weaknesses.”   Now, I like that one but it made me think of another quote on humility that I really like.   This one: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.”   Ins’t that good?   Let’s repeat: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.”   So…   I was pretty sure that quote was from C.S. Lewis so I Googled it to be sure and found this thoughtful commentary on the fact that the wisdom is often misattributed to C.S. Lewis but…   You know who really said it?    Rick Warren.    Fascinating. (Small world!)   So…   Today’s +1.   Humility.   Let’s remember that it’s not so much about thinking less of ourselves.   It’s about thinking of ourselves LESS.   Easiest way to do that?   Focus on others.    Be kind. Be present. Be generous.   TODAY.
