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.

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

There is no humility without self discipline.

sometimes I can't stop thinking it might have been inherited by DNA.confused there are human beings u can't educate at all in that way. Humility is like an unknown planet light years far away.
