Down to Earth
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:
- The person is too proud – too big for his britches.
- 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).
