Humble heart leads to growth

 

As I read a passage a short parable attracted me to go throught the story multiple times.

The venue of the story is at a wedding banquet. During weddings, lot of guests are invited some are important and specially invited to conduct the ceremony.

 While we go to the wedding if we go to the front and sit in the spaces assigned for the special guests and later someone more important than us arrives the host politely ask us to vacate the space causing an embarrassing moment, whereas if we sit at the back initially itself and the host invites us to the front it's a great honour.

My understanding of this parable is very simple. No matter how succesful we are or the achievements are great we should remain humble. 

We often come across people who always boast about their achievements, people often don't respect them, even though externally there would the respect but it's not gained but forced.

The humble ones grow higher and higher without any pride. They not only grow in their career but their personality marks the identity.
