“What do the Stoics say? Humility is a driving force of Stoicism, because without it our ability to learn, adapt and build relationships is undermined by pride” -- Annie Lawson
From Stoic at Work: Ancient wisdom to make your job a bit less annoying which is “a sharply observed workplace survival guide that spins 49 entertaining modern rules from the wisdom of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.” www.worldcat.org/oclc/1397032572
Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that flourished in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. The Stoics believed that the practice of virtue is enough to achieve eudaimonia: a well-lived life. The Stoics identified the path to achieving it with a life spent practicing the four virtues in everyday life: wisdom, courage, temperance or moderation, and justice, and living in accordance with nature. It was founded in the ancient Agora of Athens by Zeno of Citium around 300 BC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism

Michelangelo
Black chalk on paper
Michelangelo emphasises St Peter's nakedness and humility as he faces martyrdom. In this preliminary study of the man digging a hole for the upside-down cross, Michelangelo explores alternative positions for the man's arm.
His pose derives from an angel in the Last Judgment, showing Michelangelo's creative reuse of earlier concepts and ideas. The figure was reversed to fit into the final fresco.*
From the exhibition
Michelangelo the last decades
(May – July 2024)
In 1534, Michelangelo left Florence for Rome, never to see his native city again. He was 59, which many contemporaries regarded as old, but for Michelangelo this move marked the beginning of a dramatic new chapter which would fundamentally shape his experiences as an artist and as a man.
This exhibition looked at the last 30 years of Michelangelo's remarkable life, when his return to Rome – having been summoned by Pope Clement VII to paint a fresco of the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel – brought him new commissions and reunited him with some of his closest friends.
Having secured his reputation with works including his famous statue of David, Michelangelo was already the most celebrated artist in Europe. But, rather than resting on his laurels, his Christian faith, intellectual engagement and hope for salvation propelled him to produce some of the most striking works of his career. Forceful preparatory drawings for the Last Judgment, which were on show, as well as the monumental Epifania – one of only two surviving cartoons by Michelangelo – demonstrate his renewed energy and desire to challenge himself.
These works were displayed alongside studies for Michelangelo's grand architectural projects as well as drawings, poems and intimate letters that reveal his personal passions and anxieties. Rather than showing an artist in decline, this exhibition showed the astonishing dynamism that Michelangelo brought to his work in the final decades of his life as he explored salvation and confronted his mortality.

I'm reminded that The Lord has called us to in some shape or form to serve others...to be servants of all (I.E. Matthew 23:11, Mark 9:35) and whoever is the least is really the greatest ( I.E. Luke 9:48)
_
Jesus was our prime example of being a humble and selfless servant.
_
I wonder though how selfless and humble are we willing to be as we strive to be more Christ-like and walk in His footsteps?
_
Ultimately our reward will be in heaven so I pray that while we do take care of ourselves as we should, that we don't get so caught up in "self" including our own pursuits that we lose sight of serving others as humble, selfless and willing servants.

In September 2013, I was given the opportunity to shoot for a non-profit organisation called e.motion21. This is an organisation that provide an Australia-first, innovative dance and fitness program designed specifically for children and young adults with Down Syndrome.
This is a series of their rehearsal leading up to a dance event called Musicool. It was an eye opening experience having to shoot this event as I had never shot a subject matter relating to Down Syndrome prior to this. The most essential thing that I realised was that these kids and young adults are no different from what society deems as 'normal'. Everyone experiences struggles and it is the passion that keeps us going. For them, the unity through dance is the core of their passion and joy.

"BLESSED ARE THEY WHO SEE BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN HUMBLE PLACES WHERE OTHER PEOPLE SEE NOTHING! "
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE :
Dear esteemed Parents & Guardians,
We should not walk upon the earth proudly. We will never tear the earth apart, and we will never reach the mountains in height. Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.
We should be humble in our confidence yet courageous in our character. If we are humble nothing will touch us,neither praise nor disgrace, because we know what we are.Humility will open more doors than arrogance ever will.
Pride is concerned with who is right, humility is concerned with what is right. We should not be impressed by; money followers, degrees and titles. We should be impressed by; kindness, integrity ;humility and generosity.
It was pride that changed Angeles into devils ; it is the humility that makes men and women Angeles. The proud man counts his newspaper clippings, the humble man counts his blessings.
There is no respect for others without humility in one's self. The more humble we stay the more God blesses us immeasurably.
Let us always remember that no matter how big our house is ,how recent our car is,or how big our bank account is,our graves will always be the same size. So we must stay humble in life.

"Like humility, generosity comes from seeing that everything we have and everything we accomplish comes from God's grace and God's love for us. In the African understanding of ubuntu, our humility and generosity also come from realizing that we could not be alive, nor could we accomplish anything, without the support, love, and generosity of all the people who have helped us to become the people we are today. Certainly it is from experiencing this generosity of God and the generosity of those in our life that we learn gratitude and to be generous to others."
—Anglican Archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu, in God Has a Dream
