Being Humble

I loved that
Wimbledon winners
Novak Djokovic and Petra Kvitova
wore their name tags
at the winners’ ball
and then left the name tags on
for the official Wimbledon champions’ photo.

LOVED it.

Not only did it cause a media frenzy
but it sent a clear message.
“We’re humble”
(and they likely have a rockin’ sense of humor)

New York Times Bestselling author
(and one of the biggest names
in paranormal romance)
Kelley Armstrong
starts many of her writing seminars
by telling the audience
she wrote a story with a female werewolf in it.
She is THAT understated.
(and she is truly that humble)

In this “look at me!” media world,
being humble is rare
so ironically,
avoiding the spotlight
will gain you the spotlight,
and it will snag you fans,
raving fans,
fans that will toot your horn
when humble you doesn’t want
any horn tooting.

You don’t have to be all flash
and ego
to be successful.
