God can make tremendous use of one who does not care to whom the credit goes, writes Pastor Robert H Schuller in his book on ‘Positive Attitudes’. That does not sound familiar, does it? After all, most of us are inspired to work harder when we are given full credit for what we have done and reap the rewards inherent in self-effort.
There is however, a deeper principle at work here. We are linked to others and in fact to the whole universe which makes our self-effort part of a grander scheme of things. This deeper principle reminds us that humility requires us to downplay our achievements and to view our successes as stepping stones to the happiness of others.
