"Those of us who seek to feel important through our accomplishments must be particularly careful. As we strive to accomplish more and more, we tend to take ourselves and our work very seriously, until over time we feel increasingly tired, unappreciated, overwhelmed, and isolated . . . The practice of humility invites us to consider that while there is much important work to be done in the world, our work does not make us important. Our importance, our value, and our worthiness rest in a having been born a child of God on the earth. Nothing more is required."
