Humble and Kind
Good morning,
Today I wanted to share a story about how I came across a new song with lyrics that I believe are powerful.
Last week, I went on Youtube and searched for a song to listen too. I don’t recall the song I searched for, but I generally let YouTube continue to play and go wherever it wants to go. I discover new music this way. YouTube recently introduced me to a song that was distracting me from editing images. The words I was hearing, where powerful and really resonated with me. There was on line that really got me “Let yourself feel proud but always stay humble and kind.”
So today, I want to share this song with you. Take a minute to listen to this song and read the lyrics. I hope that it gives you that gentle reminder how time is the most precious gift we can give someone. I challenge you to think about your interactions with others, and how you choose to interaction with them. Compassion and empathy are two tools that every person has access too. Once you learn how to use them, never put them away. It’s important to stay humble and kind to others.
Song:Humble and Kind
Artist: Tim McGaw
You know there's a light that glows by the front door
Don't forget the key's under the mat
When childhood stars shine,
Always stay humble and kind
Go to church 'cause your mamma says to
Visit grandpa every chance that you can
It won't be wasted time
Always stay humble and kind
Hold the door, say "please", say "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind
Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why:
Bitterness keeps you from flyin'
Always stay humble and kind
Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love
"I love you" ain't no pick-up line
So always stay humble and kind
Hold the door, say "please", say "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind
When it's hot, eat a root beer popsicle
Shut off the AC and roll the windows down
Let that summer sun shine
Always stay humble and kind
Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're going don't forget turn back around
And help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind
