If you're a sports fan, and even if you're not, you are aware of the topic of the week: The decision by New England football coach Bill Belichick to go for it on fourth down at his own 28 with a six-point lead against Indianapolis. His team didn't make it and they lost the game.
I heard a sports radio host describe it this way. Belichick had no one to humble him. He's divorced, so no one to humble him at home. No veterans on his defense to humble him on the field. If you aren't humbled by someone, then you get pretty arrogant. And so that left only his own mistake in judgment to do the humbling.
It seems a pretty apt description of each of us. If there is no to humble us -- to say there's a better option or a better way -- we will eventually make an error in judgment out of our arrogance.
So the question is: Who's humbling you? Don't wait to do it yourself, humble pie doesn't taste very good. Just ask Belichick.
