Whew, this is a tough one. What is the opposite of humbleness? pretentiousness?
I met two fairly prominent people last night. This was the first time I had met them. I have heard them talked about in many people's conversations for many years. Well, my initial reaction to them was this. One was humble, and one was pretentious. They were a couple, so it made me start thinking about that. Is that what makes their relationship work? You have heard the saying that opposites attract right?
Anyway, it got me thinking about myself. Would people say I'm humble, pretentious, or something else? and Does it matter to me?
If it matters to me, does that make me pretentious?
Also, How do you stay humble and also protect yourself so you are not "walked all over" or taken advantage of?
In all honesty, when I feel taken advantage of, I get angry, and I become pretentious Kim. I throw around my accomplishments like they are confetti in a parade. Then..... I'm upset with myself for not keeping a humble spirit.
It's a fine line to walk. I'm struggling with it lately.
In the midst of this, I am finding my joy. Prior to meeting those two people last night, I was able to see Nate give a wonderful performance in a play called Puffs. He was proud of this show and his work in it, and he should be. It was really great!
I hope you all can have a good week and as always I hope you can #findyourjoy
