Reading time... Humility indeed is a virtue, a virtue which seems to be very easy to preach yet so hard to practice. Trust me its difficult!hehehe ^_^ However, I think this is called a virtue for a lot of reasons, that are mostly beyond our simple understanding. What we sometimes do as our own way of self affirmation could already be sometimes deemed as not being humble. Are we really bragging then...? Hmmmm lets see... Folks heres #.... 39. Practice Humility Humility and inner peace go hand in hand. The less compelled you are to try to prove yourself to others, the easier it is to feel peaceful inside. Proving yourself is a dangerous trap. It takes an enormous amount of energy to be continually pointing out your accomplishments, bragging, or trying to convince others of your worth as a human being. Bragging actually dilutes the positive feelings you receive from an accomplishment or something you are proud of. To make matters worse, the more you try to prove yourself, the more others will avoid you, talk behind your back about your insecure need to brag, and perhaps even resent you. Ironically, however, the less you care about seeking approval, the more approval you seem to get. People are drawn to those with a quiet, inner confidence, people who dont need to make themselves look good, be right all the time, or steal the glory. Most people love a person who doesnt need to brag, a person who shares from his or her heart and not from his or her ego. The way to develop genuine humility is to practice. Its nice because you will get immediate inner feedback in the way of calm, easy feelings. The next time you have an opportunity to brag, resist the temptation. by Richard Carlson, PhD.
