“Humility is a knowledge of our weaknesses, confidence is a knowledge of our strengths, and ego is something dangerous with none of the former and a skewed sense of the latter.”The Daily Stoic
In modern life, practicing humility can help us acknowledge our limitations and seek improvement without feeling ashamed or discouraged. For example, admitting when we need help at work shows humility and can lead to better results.
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Wisdom encourages us to have a true understanding of both our weaknesses and strengths, leading to humility and confidence. By recognizing our limitations and capabilities, we can approach challenges with a balanced perspective. In Matthew 5:5, Jesus teaches that the meek will inherit the earth, emphasizing the importance of humility in achieving God's will.
