Quote by Ron Acosta

“Confession, when given in a state of repentance (being genuinely sorry), is not for the weakhearted. Neither is it weak in what it was designed to do. It requires a personal resolve and humility to voice out loud what you did or didn’t do so that you can become right with God, the offended party, and yourself.”

“There’s a difference between humiliation and humility. Humiliation lies. Humility speaks truth. Humiliation silences you. Humility empowers you. Humiliation is a byproduct of conflict with someone else. Humility is a byproduct of peace within yourself. The goal of humiliation is to make you hate yourself. Humility requires us to love our ‘me of the moment’ selves with compassion and good humor, making way for better selves we know we can be.”

“Being a writer humbles me, so it’s good for me. My ego needs it. It is humbling to accept criticism. It is humbling to recognize when something you’ve written isn’t understood or embraced to the extent that you’d hoped. It is humbling to admit when your expenses exceed your profits. All that is true even when you are consistently surprised by well-received efforts, monetary gains, and extravagant praise. Through all of it, I learned to see myself as just another voice in the choir— one that is hopeful, vulnerable, and faultily human, not superior or inferior to anyone. So, yes, it’s definitely been good for me.”
