Happy Monday Steemverse!!

Let's see we have chatted about belief, gratitude, and patience to name a few so keeping with this I thought we would go over humility this week.  Humility seems to be one of the most misunderstood words or ideals. 

Quite honestly this has been one of the hardest post to write. So much of humility has become a part of personal interpretation. How each one of us views different aspects of our lives.

From a young age many of us are told we need to be humble, yet we didn't have an understanding of what that meant. Between our parents and family we were taught to help others unconditionally. To be polite and respectful of our elders. We were taught to put others before ourselves, that to think of ourselves first was selfish. 

Overall this is truly a great way to be. The down side to this is we weren't taught to set boundaries, to take care of ourselves or why this way of life was beneficial to our happiness. I can only speak from my experiences the reasons I was given was simply this is what God teaches us. When I was young I simple shrugged and accepted the answer. 

I have always been the one to say "Sure, I can help you with..." even if that meant I did without or gave up something I truly wanted to do. Later I would feel horrible and then would get upset with myself for having those feelings. As time went on I honestly started resenting that I constantly gave of myself and received nothing in exchange. I never did anything because I expected something, yet I guess at some point I would feel something other than used. Once I started to say no and setting boundaries it helped ease the internal anger I had growing. 

Looking out for yourself is different than being selfish. Self care is different than being selfish. In order to be truly humble one does need a sense of self. To give and do out of obligation or expectation is to live as a shadow of yourself. One starts to doubt oneself, starts to question motives and reason. Thoughts like "People only like me because I do things for them" start to become the norm. 

What does it truly mean to be humble or show humility? 

>freedom from pride or arrogance : the quality or state of being humble

>a disposition to be humble; a lack of false pride

>God says when you are humble, you are free from pride and arrogance. You know that in your flesh you are inadequate, yet you also know who you are in Christ.

This is just a sample of definitions of humility it is no wonder we do not have a clear idea of what humility truly is. Many feel that to show humility or to be humble you are too passive, submissive, insecure, and even a sense of impoverishment. With our behaviors and views it is pretty easy to see why humility is so misunderstood.

To be truly humble means that one does not view themselves as any better than another. Just like when a sports team wins and 1 person is touted as 'the one who won the game.' it isn't truly the case if it weren't for the team the win would not have occurred. It is the actions of everyone involved that actually created the win. 

When we take on the mindset of we are not better than another and no one is better than we are it changes how one views the things around us. We can appreciate things in a different light. It gives us an appreciation of others. It allows us to see humanity.

Here are a few habits of those that are humble:
- They listen
- They accept feedback
- They are curious
- They are situationally aware
- The put others first
- The speak their mind
- They take the time to say thank you

It was kind of funny when I was reading through a page to put together this list of habits, my husband looked over my shoulder "Wow, are they talking about you?" in a light-hearted sarcastic manner.  I know what he was meaning. I went on to read through the page and was a little dumbfounded that the habits that are mentioned really are how I am. I have always tried to be humble, but I did lose myself and sense of self along the way. Only now am I realizing what the true meaning is and how important it is to my own development.
