Humility

There are many ways to define humility. Some common definitions are:

  • thinking less of yourself

  • putting others first

  • not looking down on others

  • (my personal favorite) properly assessing who you are.

Ultimately, every definition involves the concept of going low. However, there is a difference between going low and staying low.  The former speaks to a moment, while the other speaks of a lifestyle. While a moment of humility is good, a lifestyle of humility changes everything. We are far more likely to regret being prideful than being humble. It’s often hard, but it always pays off.
