Humility is practiced through conscious choices, but it also happens when life reminds you of your limits. True humility is both discipline and revelation.

Absolutely something you practice 🤍

It stems from how we were raised. Sometimes, it might be seen as a weakness, but it's a double-edged sword—if you have none of it, you can come across as arrogant, but if you have too little, it makes it easy for others to take advantage of you. So, be clear about your feelings, and be smart enough to express them appropriately (edited)

The truth is that the term humility is a spectrum; for some people, it is a conscious process, while for others, that term lives with them. The important thing is to know how to recognize how you apply it in order to manage it better.

Humility is something you practice. Humiliation is what happens when you don’t. There’s a subtle difference. 😌 I try for both. I practice humility voluntarily, mostly so life doesn’t have to humble me with a 2x4. 😂

That practice. Intellectual maturity and self-discipline allow you to assess the world and your own limits through pure logic, without needing life's blows to understand how things stand. The expectation that life will "humble" you through failures is, essentially, the approach of those who operate solely on a reactive basis, not reflective.

Humility is a virtue that you learn. I can be confident in myself and my abilities but not have the arrogance of feeling superior to other people or the unnaturalness of feeling inferior to others. There is no measure of comparison since we are all different people. At most, someone else's success can spur me on and motivate me to do better, for what my goal is. And surely, one cannot help but rejoice in another person's success; envy is a useless feeling.

I think that like everything (if not most things), it's not something that is 100% one way or the other; sometimes it will be more conscious at other times, but the point is to try to be the best version of yourself.

What happened to me after applying

Something that one decides to do, I suppose.

It's something that is practiced, because you can't be humble unless there is some reason for you to feel exalted, and staying humble and centered is the practice we know as humility.

Humility is something everyone should practice because it is a sign of person's maturity and confidence.

Rather something that a person practices or does. Humiliation, on the other hand, is something you endure.
1mo
You either have humility or you don't.

Something that happens to me because nowadays people are so messed up in the head that they don't deserve humility, they deserve a lesson.

Personally, I do not know if this is cultural but as asians our parents have always compared us with siblings or cousins. Of course this is done only to spur us on, to do better however quite often, many of us end up internalising the inadequacies. Some of us will always remember that there is always someone better therefore, for us, humility has become second nature. Yet i believe a handful might react quite the opposite and boast whenever the opportunity arises. It is almost as though they believe they have to prove themselves to be accepted or worthy of love. For them, coupled with self-awareness, perhaps humility would something they have to actively practice. (edited)

Something you acquire

I think life is very good at showing how easily one can lose everything and how much one takes for granted. Which contributes to (for me) that I have learned how vulnerable everything is (also that I am more capable than I think of rebuilding something again), which makes me choose to practice more humility now than I did earlier in my life.

Circumstances may bring us to our knees; they cannot decide for us to become humble.

What?

This is what happens to me, I am by nature a modest, kind-hearted, and very trusting person.
