The third stage of humility requires us to let go of false expectations in daily life. When I am truly aware of my own littleness, I am not driven to spend life satisfying my ego more than my needs. I do not harbor the delusions of grandeur that compel a person to require the best car, the best chair, the best piece of meat on the plate, whatever the effects on others. The person full of God has much more security than any of the baubles of life - the comforts, the trappings, the titles, the symbols - can give.
