Check your ego at the door

It's not every day that I get my ego knocked down a few pegs. It'd probably be better for my spiritual health if it happened more often, but at the same time I could do without feeling like crap. Other than that, it was a pretty ordinary day, thankfully.

Gossiping about a peer is one thing, because it poisons the way the hearer relates to that person. It's a whole other thing when said people complain about you to the leader of your group and don't say a word to you about it to your face. I'm not a stuck up person; believe it or not, I can take criticism. If you tell me I'm doing something wrong and what I'm doing wrong, I'll fix it. If you go behind my back, then I couldn't give a damn what you say and you're not even worth my contempt.

It's easy to be a humble person,... until someone points out your humility.

It's a strange thing to find yourself praying without having thought about doing it.
