Where I grew up, most people like to be known as down to earth.

A down to earth person is a good ordinary person.

He does not:

• Want to be fancy
• Try to impress other people
• Think he is better than others

Rather, he:

• Stays humble
• Is easy to like
• Remains realistic
• Speaks clearly and simply
• Is as good as his word

 Sometimes a person needs to be brought down to earth.

That can mean one of two things:

1. The person is too proud – too big for his britches.
2. Or, he is not aware of or not accepting reality. He needs to face the facts.

Being brought down to earth can be hard but helpful.

No one enjoys the process. Yet, if a person can grow, the pain is worth the change.

I try to make this blog down to earth with simple, easy-to-understand language. Is it working? How can I improve? Please comment.

All of you, leaders and followers alike, are to be down to earth with each other” (1 Peter 5:5 MSG).
