A quick story on humility
Alexander the Great approached a river crossing where he met a philosopher that would not move
One of his men yells to the Philosopher
"This man has conquered the world, what have you done?"
He replies
"I have conquered the need to conquer the world"

This story fantastically illustrates a lesson on overcoming.
A man can be many things
In most forms, man becomes a conqueror
However, when is it ever enough for a man?

While on our warpath, we typically achieve many goals. Our careers, homes, cars are used as war medals
But it is never enough. Although we have already conquered big game, we always want to hunt more.
The only way to achieve clarity and break the cycle is to overcome the self

Do not compare (envy)
Do not excessively desire (greed)
Do not flaunt (pride)
Otherwise, you are at risk of compromising your morality (wrath)

Like Alexander, we have conquered the world when we should have been conquering the self.
Because of this, the souls of men have become compromised.
Because of this, the souls of men have become compromised.
But a self-conquered man is not compromised for he legislates his own limits for his limitless desire
The best men have the ability to conquer, but choose not to, for they have conquered enough.
Don't seek to be the best
Seek to be the best version of yourself
