Hope you're all well!

Just found this site in my meanderings through cyberland -

People are increasingly competitive, attention-seeking, narcissistic, obsessed with their appearance and entitled.

A new study, though, underlines eight ways in which being humble can help us improve our lives (Kesebir, 2014).

The author of the study, psychologist Pelin Kesebir, explains that:

“Humility involves a willingness to accept the self’s limits and its place in the grand scheme of things, accompanied by low levels of self-preoccupation.” (Kesebir, 2014).

Humility — or ‘a quiet ego’ as she calls it — can be surprisingly powerful in a variety of different ways.

Humility requires courage IMO.

Perhaps.
I see it more as equanimity, objectivity, confidence, maturity, & occasionally cunning.

Phil. 2:3-4.... "Donothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." NIV

Thought I should point out, though ...having modesty is what helps us to know our limits.

All in all, an informative article! Thanks!
