"I know how arrogance works. Do you?" asks Holly Elissa Bruno in the article Leading with Humor and Humility, in the November/December 2015 Exchange magazine. "Feeling bad about myself drove me to arrogance; pretending superiority to a troubling situation, I could trick myself out of feeling inferior. The trick never works; superiority is a lie." She goes on to describe a very important distinction between leading with humility or feeling humiliation:
"Humility and humiliation look alike, but they are opposite. Humiliation is feeling flawed to the core. Humility is knowing I am imperfect and turning my flaws into healing action.... Today I surrender more to learning in the moment, to letting go of (limiting) expectations (for others and myself), and to being open to the moment’s blessing. Humility allows us a second chance, a sacred glimpse into what is timeless and what matters most. I am forever a student."
