Humility – A final thought

I have tried to share a range of thoughts and opinions. I imagine that some, with appropriate amounts of skepticism, might take some of what I’ve shared as mental gymnastics and rationalization. Being aware of the danger of self-rationalization, I try to be introspective of my own motives in life. I often ask myself if I am rationalizing my own behavior and beliefs.

All that being said, if you were to ask me for a singular piece of advice it would be simply, “Be thou humble” (D&C 112:10). Humility will lead you to be patient, forgiving, empathetic, loving, charitable, grateful, trusting, and faithful. Be humble, patient, and draw on the strength of God and others; here you will find the greatest accomplishment, joy, and contentment imaginable in this life.

Humility truly is the mother of many virtues.
