Humility

Humility has gone out of style. In an era of selfies and Social Media channels we are more aware of ourselves than ever before. The concept of ‘self’ is constantly in the forefront of our minds. Humility is the “lack of vanity or self-importance.” It is vitally important, but mostly overlooked in society today. Humble people don’t feel the need to paint a perfect picture of an “ideal life”. They are more concerned with the quality of their effort, the impact of their lives, and the content of their character. People with humility do not think less of themselves, they think of themselves less. They do not deny their talents and capabilities, rather they recognize these strengths pass through them, not from them. We live in a world where ego gets attention, but modesty gets results. Where arrogance makes headlines, but humility makes a difference.
