I think this is extremely important in life because it means that regardless of how much or how little you had or have in your life, it is very important to live a life that is filled with these very important characteristics.
Being gracious, grateful and humble may seem like a bad thing to seem because it means that you come off as weak and yet it is the strongest that you can be going through the best and worst times of your life and never let it go to your head. That is what being humble means. It means that even when you succeed , you never throw it back in other people's faces.
Be grateful for everyday that you live in this world because you never know when it will be your last. I have always live this way and it was always thrown back at me because to everybody else, I did not seem ambitious at all and yet I have the highest level of ambition in my family. I have never given up on anything that I set my mind to.
People are always surprised when I do things that they do not expect me to be able to do. This is due to all the assumptions that were made about me while I was growing up and in school.
There was one evening in particular that I have mentioned previously wherein I was given a major award in school and nobody, not even me was expecting it to come my way. When the time came for it to be presented and my name was called, everyone's jaws just dropped.
I still have those certificates, I had to give the trophy back for the next recipient but I was still very proud of myself for that.
I have also always lived a humble and simple life. Nothing fancy or outrageous. It stems more from how I was raised. I have two loving parents who will always make sure that I have everything that I need in my life. Even now, they will still help me if I need it.
Always remember to stay humble and be grateful for all that you have in your life, especially the little things.
