Humility is knowing who you are and who you are not, and being at peace with that.
It is also understanding who other people are and who they are not, and accepting that.
Humility is being right-sized in perception.
That is, having an honest and realistic perception of yourself, of the world around you, and of yourself in relation to the world around you.
In other words, humility is not thinking too much or too little of yourself or others.
Humility is also being right sized in representation.
This means representing who you are honestly and realistically to others, not pretending to be better or worse than you are.
Humility is asking for help when you need it, but also being willing to be self sufficient when you can.
It is helping others when you are able, but also being honest about when you cannot.
Humility is admitting you are not the best person for every job while also not shying away from your talents, skills, abilities, and attributes.
It is never saying more or less than is necessary.
Humility is being at peace with the truth.
