In today's Gospel, Jesus concludes his parable with the haunting truth: "Everyone who exalts himself witll be humbled, but the one who humbles himself, will be exalted." (Lk 14:11). When we accept our limitations, when we come to know what they are through failure, but see that "there is life after failure," when we recognize our gifts as well as the gifts others possess and learn to be content with ours and not jealous of theirs, then a true confidence comes to us and we can now genuinely BE OURSELVES and assume a leadership role that will be respected and followed. We can then take our place with the "exalted"...those who are respected as role models and leaders.
