A Little Humility
The Truth About Humility
Humility is a strength and not a weakness. Only those confident and comfortable in their own skin can be humble enough to keep learning, admit weakness and wrong doing and give space for real progress. Humility is an understanding that everyone has something to teach me and I am going to watch and listen for the lessons, because "I don't know it all." Humility means that I am a work in progress. Humility takes courage to face our own crap and do something about it.
