Humility is a very useful quality that allows us to balance the often powerful influence of our ego. The key word here being ‘balance’.
As C S Lewis once said, ‘humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less’.
Humility provides a means of seeing beyond our periphery and thereby not obsessing about our own concerns, or being blinded by desire. It is a more grounded, down to earth view that looks outward at the world rather than always inward.
This is not to suggest we should ignore the inner workings of our hearts or minds but simply, like all things, we need to balance between our inner and outer worlds.
In the age of the selfie stick, we risk being drawn into narcissistic habits where our lack of a balanced perspective exposes us to seemingly greater shock – when in truth it is simply our bubble bursting at the slightest touch.
Humility is this balanced perspective.
