It's funny how the Universe works - just had a talk with some folks about what humility is last Wednesday, and now you're talking about it, Terri.<br /><br />Yes, Terri, it's one of those slippery words, one of those "Well, I know it when I see it" kind of things. But I love how you explained what you see as humility here - and I think you've helped nail down a little some of that slippery quality.Curiouser Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415383979985169083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731762173286561871.post-43760468263644892702011-07-16T07:27:58.802-04:002011-07-16T07:27:58.802-04:00Love what you said here.

What that told me was that if I were humble, I wouldn't have the negative feelings and beliefs about myself.<br /><br />A "right estimate" would be owning the talents and achievements I have. But it would also be owning the other things about myself that other people may not admire.<br /><br />I found that the key to finding this kind of humility is to work on acceptance. I have been able to accept things about myself that I used to think I had to change.<br /><br />In working on acceptance, I've not only accepted things about myself, but it has resulted in me being more accepting of others. And that, has in turn, made me more humble.<br /><br />Insecurity makes me want to be sure others know all the good about me. No humility there!<br /><br />But as I accept others where they are, I don't have envy and I don't feel less than other people. And that gets me closer to true humility, I believe.Zurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07179591877269432837noreply@blogger.com
