The formidable power of humility

Fame, celebrity and wealth are very dangerous situations that end up affecting most people very negatively. They simply, as the saying goes, “get to their heads”. 

The best current example is Elon Musk who just a year or so ago was still my hero and has recently turn into the most despicable individual the planet has seen. I admire his rockets and love his cars, but I simply despise what he’s become. 

There are many other examples, no just in the world of business or politics, but also in sports and show business among other places. Some people simply forget to remain loyal to their roots, remember who they used to be and where they truly come from. 

They’ve lost track of humility as their head it getting ready to explode as they realize how unique, glorious and rich they’ve become. Yes, the trap is set there for some of us to get into its way and fall into it sooner than later. 

Too bad they’ve missed the path of humility that it a not just a gift, it’s the only treasure there is for the taking. As Jesus used to say: “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth!”
