towards the end of the safer if you look how little we have left we come up to the middle of another of modesty of humility as we've been developing as we've been learning humility is not thinking less of ourselves as thinking of ourselves less often it's to realize the skills the brachas the talents that we have but to understand and recognize that they are on loan from Hashem they are not part of our permanent collection so whatever a person has been gifted with in intellect intelligence a memory artistic athletic ability whatever creativity entrepreneurship whatever talents or skills whatever success one has been given they're not ours and they're not earned and they're not permanent they are on loan and they can disappear told us if you're wealthy if you broke through and you're successful believe me there were thousands millions of other people as smart as you same education as you same work ethic as you why did you break through and they didn't so don't take credit and don't swell with arrogance and don't be prideful because it's not you it all comes from him it all comes from above Allah you're you're mighty you're strong either literally physically or you're positioned with strength in life what do you think it's you you are blessed with that DNA that bone structure those genetics maybe you worked hard in the gym maybe you worked hard in life to have a network to be in a position of strength but you think you're stronger
