The Desire of Humility

I’m not sure how to start this off so I think I will just jump in with what I observed and my thoughts thereof.

I live and work in the suburbs. Public transportation is available but is by no means as convenient as it is in a metropolitan or urban area. On my commute to work it is common for me to see numerous people cycling to work. Now I’m not talking about the people who are being environmentally conscious and have opted not to drive. These people I’m referring to probably do not own an automobile and are using the bicycle as their primary means of transportation.

To what extent would you go to in order to get to work? What inconveniences would you be willing to endure so that you could make it to your job if you suddenly were without a car? Renting or borrowing a car is not an option either. Would you be willing to walk? Would you hop on a child’s bike and pedal it – if the distance was within reason? Would you take public transportation?

I applaud these people who in almost any type of weather are willing to deal with the inconvenience of not having an automobile but still manage to get to their jobs. I admire their desire and motivation that drives them, no pun intended, to work in order to get to work and then to work some more to return home.

The lack of a false sense of entitlement truly allows them a freedom to accomplish while so many others would only see the struggle.

Truly there is a lesson here. A lesson of humility, motivation and desire. We often will not proceed out of arrogance, however humility is really the first step to success.
