Humility

Description

I am humble.  When I think of others, I admire those who are humble the most.  Being humble allows me to demonstrate that I am human. My missteps remind me of my fallibility. My humility ensures I can learn from my errors and move on.  To me, the word humble means to behave in a modest and unpretentious way. I avoid being prideful or arrogant. I feel these characteristics are undesirable and in direct contrast to being humble.  My life is full of serenity and contentment, largely because I strive to be unassuming and without presumption.  I choose to show humility, especially when accepting compliments from others or making apologies.  Because I believe that each human being is unique and important, my humility remains steady whether I am dealing with a supervisor at work, a close friend, or a family member.  The riches I experience in life remind me of the importance of remaining humble, regardless of the situation.  Today, I reflect on my humility and share it with others. My life is rewarding and fulfilling because I practice humility.  Self-Reflection Questions:  1, Do I consider myself to be humble? Why or why not?  2, What are some examples of how I have been humble when relating to others?  3, How can I practice humility more often and how will doing so make my life better?
