Mental Balance

Is So Important

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 5 months ago 1 min read
The balance of our minds must come first!

“A mistake that makes you humble

is better

than an achievement that makes you arrogant.”

Humility:

“Is the quality

of being modest and unassuming,

characterized by a down-to-earth assessment

of one’s own abilities and limitations.”

Arrogant:

“Is an exaggerated sense

of their own worth or abilities,

often showing rude superiority

toward others.”

It is interesting

that ‘humility’ fosters intellectual growth

and

enhances emotional stability.

Whereas ‘arrogance’ shuts down

learning abilities and distorts reality.

Which is better for our mental health?

We learn from our mistakes,

and whilst we should be proud

of our achievements,

we must never be arrogant.

Meditating

on both our mistakes and our successes

will help us to keep our mental balance,

which is so important.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
