PRIDE MAKES US ARTIFICAL AND HUMILITY REAL, PRACTICE HUMILITY

Humility and inner peace go hand in hand. The less we try to prove ourselves to others, the easier it is to feel peaceful inside. People who practice humility are optimistic and cheerful. They have a habit of ignoring the wrong things, be it about the environment, the office they are working at, the boss with whom they are working, or the family they have. They always focus on looking at the strengths around them and concentrate only on the positives. Humble people always think, if not this time, maybe next time. They believe everything that happens happens for good and does have God’s signature. Humble people don’t expect good things to come to them without any effort, but they believe that good things will happen if they work hard enough. “Next time, keep them alive.”

Humble people do not spend time and energy proving themselves. Instead, they spend this energy looking at how I can contribute. Humble people do not get disappointed by any external factors; disappointment is always attributed to self and thinking about how I can improve and how I can do better. Humble people know they are not the best at everything. While others see a lot of merit in them, they always think there is always someone more knowledgeable than them and can learn from them. While they know what needs improvement, they also understand what they cannot change about themselves. Therefore, they consciously do not put effort into changing those characteristics as it will change their fabric. Humble people, at times, are taken for granted, and others feel it is easy to get over them, but the fact is that it is the humble person who gives them the way and allows them to be happy.

Humble people have a sense of gratitude, and they always thank God for what they have. They find beauty in the world around them. Humble people never leave their base, nor do they leave the ground. They know how many hardships and difficulties they have faced with being where they are and the person they are today. They do not compare themselves with the materialistic world but do compare within. A humble person knows they will recognize their accomplishments. If they are an impressive person, people around them will get a sense of it without being talked loudly. Humble people always appreciate other people rather than talking all the time about self-accomplishments.

I remember I had purchased the shoe with lights glowing for my son when he was three. The lights would illuminate whenever he wore it, and I thought he would be happy. However, after wearing it two times, he refused to wear it. When I asked him why he would not wear it, he said that when I play in the park with my friends, all my friends look at my shoe and I do not like it. It seems like I am doing a show-off and driving attraction. So I understood it and felt sorry too that it was not required.

Practice humility; listen to your inner self. Hold yourself from talking about yourself. “Humility is not thinking less of yours, but thinking of yourself less.”
