The greatest gift that I think that any of us can ask for is that of humility. That’s the goal that I set forth when I decided that I was gonna rewrite my “About Me†section. How many of us really know what it is to be humble? And I’m not talking about the humble that makes us either quickly reciprocate or reject a compliment that someone passes us because we don’t dare allow ourselves to feel conceited, but I mean the kind of “humble†that knows that even though a compliment is being passed our way, there are doings out there that warrant so much more praise than we believe OURSELVES worthy of. So about me… I like to believe that I’m a different kind of guy, but don’t we all? I’m the guy that doesn’t feel embarrassed because he slipped on a wet floor in a crowded room, spit when he spoke, or left the “Wet†out, making it devastatingly obvious that he just finished masturbating… Rather, I’m the guy that feels awful and unworthy of life when I embarrass someone else in a crowd, especially my friends. I’m definitely a child of God and I believe that the Man above knew exactly what he was doing with each and every one of us, even more so now (Thanks Fernando!). I realize more and more with each day that passes that everything in this world was intricately placed exactly where it should be and although God loves each and every one of us, He didn’t bless us with a perfect world. This is only me speaking, but I believe that we don’t live this life to judge others: “others†being that of a straight, gay, Latin, Black, White, Iraqi, Indian, Catholic, Protestant, or Muslim background, just to name a few. We should realize that judgment, for the most part, always leads to some form of hypocrisy and that makes you worse than your judgments. We’re not here to be arrogant, self-righteous, or INSECURE – people don’t achieve their goals of beauty, fortitude, or success so that YOUR jealousy can make them regret accomplishing it. Our time is so short, and so precious, and it’s enough of a task trying to be the best friend, brother, father, husband or Christian you can be without trying to please those who only hope to see us fall. I know that I’m only 27 years old and no one could care less about anything that I have to say, but then again, this is MY “About Me†Section. So the next time you feel one of those disgusting emotions that prematurely age us, like a lack of compassion, insensitivity, rudeness, bitterness, arrogance, and above all – judgment, just think back to the last time YOU changed the world with one random act of kindness at a time, and reevaluate your judgment before it rolls off your tongue and hurts someone’s feelings. And one thing that I’ve realized in this sometimes unforgiving world of ours, is that things get hard for all of us and at most times it’s easier to complain, but when we look around at the beauty and the diversity of each other, and to the sky, and it becomes apparent that the Man upstairs loves us and carries us through every flood, we’ll see that it becomes impossible to feel anything but gratitude for every day of our stupid, little lives. This is my gift of humility… I pass this on to you. Welcome to my page.
