It's the fact that today we walk on the ground but that same ground you walk on tomorrow will be above you when you are buried. So life has always reminded us that both the good and bad, that nothing lasts forever.
The table can turn at any time, seasons can change and those you sit down today can rise tomorrow and become something big. So no condition is permanent and that is the truth you need to have said.
When life puts you in a position where it's very easy to make you forget where you come from and you forgot how the journey was so hard and tough till you get there, then you might lose focus of true value.
Some people begin to treat others as though they were always good and bad, they were always beneath them, but you know life does not work that way. One day you might be the boss leading and tomorrow you might need a favor from the one that you are looking down on. One moment you can be a teacher and the other time you might find yourself learning from
Let's take the popular Nigerian musician for example, Wizkid for example. So once upon a time he was a young artist. He was learning, he was growing his life and finding a place in the music world. Then today he's performing at global stages. He has lived far beyond from where he had started. He has decided to flip the script and he's a public figure today. This does not mean that he was looking down on others but it means that life keeps moving and the world begins to change.
That is why humility is important. Humility is such a beautiful thing. When you treat people with respect and not belittle them, you create... You create bridges and not barriers or barricades. So you never know who might be of help to you or what person might lift you in the future.
The person you might be ignoring today might be the one in charge tomorrow. So learn how to walk gently. Speak your mind. Remember that this position you are might fade away one day and mind the way you treat
Never tend to look down on others except when you're admiring their shoes because at the end of the day we all return to the same ground we walked on. The only thing that matters in life is the love, the kindness, the legacy we leave behind. Life can be unpredictable but humility can keep us grounded always.
