John often meditated on things by writing. This is an example of his many writings where he reflects on the need to be humble before your dreams can come to pass.
Humility was something of a watchword for him. John spent his life endeavouring to grow in humility even though he sometimes found that challenging. I think that towards the end of his life, dad began to grasp the art of being humble and demonstrated it in a way I have tried to emulate.
