Humility, is not a value that we see today very often. Competitiveness, superficiality, speed and relationships with expiration date are more appreciated, those that, to end them, it is enough to eliminate them from our social profiles.
Where is now the humility of recognizing ourselves as what we are, with our greatness and with our mistakes? It seems that every time there is less time for this introspection, to delve into our emotions and, in turn, to understand those of the rest.
The virtue of accepting us with all our defects and greatness
It is never easy to make a deep reading of who we are. It is not enough to look in the mirror to ask ourselves how time treats us, because life is not in that wrinkle of more, or in that color we have chosen for our hair. The real life will undoubtedly be in that gesture a little sadder that reflects the mirror and, above all, in our own acts.
Humility teaches us to be objective with ourselves, to accept our mistakes and to see, in addition, that we all have limits. Nobody is perfect, so do not make the mistake of believing that you are an expert in what you master so well, in that profession that you exercise with satisfaction because, in reality, no one is a master of their arts. We are all students that we learn every day of this complex life where, at any moment, we can be fallible.
Many of us are also convinced that the way we see life is the right one, the one that fits within "our schemes". And, in turn, all those who see it in another way are, without a doubt, wrong. Why do we do it? Why do we often act with such pride? All these forms of thought sooner or later cause us problems and discussions.
Who sees life with humility, accepting its limits, accepting that we all have our points of view, our weaknesses and also our greatness, usually live more fully and fully. He does not take so many disappointments, because he does not set big goals or see himself as "someone perfect". Humility is a value that teaches us to be happy with what we have and what we are.
Now, you may ask yourself: but in what way can I cultivate my humility on a day-to-day basis? Through modesty. As simple as that. There are people who confuse the humble being with "giving everything for others and living with the minimum". It is not about reaching these extremes. What we should actually do are small acts that allow us to see things in their just reality, in order to lead a more whole, happier life.
If we get used to acting modestly, we can recognize, for example, our own mistakes in order to grow and advance being a little wiser. Whoever does not see his own limitations will stumble on the same stone again and again. So, keep it in mind, be modest, listen to others, listen to yourself, do not always seek to be right or think that your point of view is always correct.
Develop your curiosity at the same time, keeping an open mind that allows you to grow, explore the world, emotions, feelings. Learn to forgive and see the world with more humility, as one observes a creature that is still growing and needs to learn. In this life it is not about winning or losing things, but to experience a daily and humble happiness through which to always learn to be better people, and at the same time, make others happy.
Obviously, we know that this is not always easy to achieve, since many of us lead a life full of responsibilities, of objectives to fulfill, of people to take care of ... However, remember one thing: try that everything you do brings you happiness. Find a job that makes you feel full and proud of yourself, surround yourself with people who appreciate you for who you are and who, in turn, also practice humility.
