As long as we placed self-reliance first, a genuine reliance upon a Higher Power was out of the question. That basic ingredient of all humility, a desire to seek and do God's will, was missing.

Live and learn....

Humility isn't a gift . It is long fought for and hard earned.

There is no humility without self discipline.

Is humility not "processed" by the heart and thoughts by the mind?

sometimes I can't stop thinking it might have been inherited by DNA.

there are human beings u can't educate at all in that way. Humility is like an unknown planet light years far away.

All things are possible, all the time..

For some of us (speaking of myself only), we needed to be beat to our knees....

Some of us (speaking of myself only) are slow learners..

Humility is not thinking less of yourself.....it's thinking of yourself less often.
