How do you stay humble?

Question

what does it even mean to be humble?

Answer 1

Someone as great as me is bound to be humble.

Answer 2

On an unintentional note, I make mistakes quite often and fine myself humbled by having to apologize or take some other corrective action.

Intentionally, I make an effort to remember my greatest moments, and then weigh them against the achievements of those I consider truly great in the world. I also take time to consider that as much as I may want to complain loudly about some situation I'm faced with, I'm not living in a war zone. I feel fairly certain that the sun will rise on a peaceful morning tomorrow.

Not everybody can go to sleep with this same sense of peace, and that makes me feel decidedly humble. I had very little to do with the events that led to me being so fortunate.

Answer 4

My understanding of the term 'humble' is to not think of your self as worth anything.

But I do not agree that this is right, we are all important and worth something.

Answer 6

I stay humble by thanking God every single day for all that I have: food, shelter, health, money, family, friends, a job, etc...

I also ask Him to continue to provide these things that I need to sustain my life for without His assistance, I would have nothing.

I show God I am thankful for what He has provided for me by sharing it with others when I can. A meal, a ride, a smile, a few bucks, etc... I prove to God that I truly depend upon Him by paying 10% of my tithes each week. Afterall, He's the one who got me the job in the first place!

Answer 7

I stay humble by helping those less fortunate than I.

Answer 8

When you believe deep in yourself that you are not better than other people, that will show up automatically on your behaviour and this is when you are humble.

Answer 9

I believe that you can become 'humble' by being mindful of other people. This does not come easily - you have to work at it.

You can work at it through meditation and study - (difficult to do on your own).  There are professionals who can help you get on the path and direct you.

Answer 10

I stay humble by expecting the worst and hoping for the best. No matter how many times I may get something right, I make sure to imagine that those around me have some trump card way to prove me wrong or inferior if I overstep my boundaries.

I can be confident, but I need to make sure I am always respectful
