5.When you say, "I’m sorry," look the person in the eye.

“Humility and
inner peace go hand in hand. The less compelled you are to try to prove
yourself to others, the easier it is to feel peaceful inside.

Proving
yourself is a dangerous trap. It takes an enormous amount of energy to be
continually pointing out your accomplishments, bragging, or trying to convince
others of your worth as human being. Bragging actually dilutes the positive
feelings you receive from an accomplishment or something you are proud of. To
make matters worse, the more you try to prove yourself, the more other will
avoid you, talk behind your back about your insecure need to brag, and perhaps
even resent you.

Ironically, however the less you care about seeking
approval, the more approval you seem to get. People are drawn to those with a quiet,
inner confidence, people who don’t need to make themselves look good, be
“right” all the time, or steal the glory. Most people love a person who doesn’t
need to brag person who shares from his or her heart and not from his or her
ego.

The way to develop genuine humility is to practice.
It’s nice because you will get immediate inner feedback in the way of calm,
easy feelings. The next time you have an opportunity to brag, resist the
temptation. You tend to receive more positive feedback practising humility –
not less.”

NOBODY KNOWS
By: The Tony Rich Project

I pretended I’m glad you went away
These four walls closin’ more every day
And I’m dying inside
And nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I’m crying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Why didn’t I say
The things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a tumblin’ down
I can say it so clearly
But you’re nowhere around

The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin’ about
The love that I had
And I’m missin’ you
And nobody knows it but me

I carry a smile when I’m broken in two
And I’m nobody without someone like you
I’m tremblin’ inside and nobody knows it but me
I lie awake it’s a quarter past three
I’m screamin’ at night as if I thought
You’d hear me
Yeah my heart is callin’ you
And nobody knows it but me

How blue can I get
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle it’s been torn all apart
A million words couldn’t say just how I feel
A million years from now you know
I’ll be lovin’ you still

The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin’ about
The love that I had
And I’m missin’ you
And nobody knows it but me

Tomorrow mornin’ I’m hitting the dusty road
Gonna find you wherever, ever you might go
I’m gonna unload my heart and hope you come back to me
Said when the nights are lonely…

The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin’ about
The love that I had
And I’m missin’ you
And nobody knows it but me
