Humility in the face of arrogance (#2023)

I love how our President of the United States remains calm and focused on the long term and short term problems that are part of his job. He is great example of being in the moment and not tooting his own horn about his accomplishments. That is how we all should be, quietly solving problems without needing the ego driven fanfare many choose to want. Humility is a powerful behavior to live. It is unique in all the world in that, usually, no one can see the intent that created it. It requires someone who is confident enough in themselves to know that they did the right thing without doubting or needing to be validated. Now is our President perfect to me? No, he needs to reconsider some courses he has chosen but they are not irreversible nor are they set in stone with him. As time goes by even he will see that in those cases there are other considerations he must value to a higher order. Yet all in all, he has done a remarkable job when the time had come for someone remarkable to be in the office of our President. What is even more telling is the level of hatred and disdain he has been rudely offered as too many folks have bad behaviors that are nothing short of embarrassing and shameful. This time in our history will show him to have done exceptionally well for all Americans and fellow travelers on our planet. he asks for nothing himself but instead asks for everything for us. He shepherds us through his own example. He lives an admirable and exemplary life within in his own family and extends that out to the rest of us. He expects us to work for our country with pride and dignity, respecting others as we would like to be respected, while extending out the hand of friendship and empathy. Humility is a behavior that needs more of us to embrace while we continue to fight for the best for all of us.
