Humility

"To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it." Mother Teresa.
Humility is about being teachable and coachable.
"Humility implies a continual commitment to learning and growing and expanding. It is living life in crescendo, with shoulders back and heads up as we reach and stretch to become our very best, then extend ourselves to help others do the same. And then, we start again!" - Aspire - Kevin Hall.
I have experienced that my greatest time of learning is when I assist others to learn. Often I go to the golf course and play with my son, Tim. As we hit golf balls, we relax and start learning from each other. Our father - son relationship grows stronger. I often have a bad day on the golf course but come away stronger because we have added oil to the "lamp" of our relationship. Some people look for strenghtening their relationships but do not spend time together. Without the time taken to be together and sometimes enjoy, other times endurs each other. Both adds the oil to our "Lamp".
God has added richness to my father - son relationship because we have taken the time to add oil to our lamp.
