Another thought on becoming meek

Meekness -  A Dimension of True Discipleship (Neal A Maxwell)

Meekness, however, is more than self-restraint; it is the presentation of self in a posture of kindness and gentleness, reflecting certitude, strength, serenity, and a healthy self-esteem and self-control.

Meekness is one of those attributes acquired only by experience, some of it painful, for it is developed “according to the flesh.” (Alma 7:11–12.) It is not an attribute achieved overnight, nor is it certified to in only one exam—but, rather, “in process of time.” (Moses 7:21, 68–69.) The Savior said we are to “take up [the] cross daily”—not just once or occasionally. (Luke 9:23.) His rigorous requirement places a premium upon our having meekness.

Furthermore, our hearts will be broken in order that they might be rebuilt.

Everything we experience is to bring us closer to God, and we can choose if it will or not.  Every experience is to help us become meek and humble.  My kids -- my Jackson-- is going to help me do that every day.
