James Clear, the author of the New York Times bestseller, Atomic Habits, sent me a DM on Twitter.Driven by astonishment and excitement that such a popular author was messaging me about an article I wrote last year, I posted a screenshot of the conversation. I did it for somehow selfish reasons of course, I wanted to share my joy and promote my article (James Clear reading your blog, best social proof ever).Then, amid congrats messages, a few people noticed something I overlooked.James wrote Hi David... I'm an author and I'm trying to chase down a source. Hoping you can help.He assumed I don't know who he is and politely introduced himself without any credits. Nothing like "I wrote Atomic Habits, the bestseller you probably heard of".This is so awesome. Such modesty and humility. I think that's really what success is about. We all have seen all those douchy high achievers who always look down on others.Regardless of your success (Which I genuinely wish you), bank balance, number of employees, sold copies of book or fame, please stay humble. People will notice and reward you.Be like James. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
