My dear Yogis and Yoginis,

If you look humility up in the dictionary, it sounds rather degrading and negative, but if you have a deeper look into it you will find that it is actually a strong and not weak character trade. A virtue that sounds to most people old fashioned and seems almost forgotten about.

In different religions it is a necessity; also writers and C. G. Jung
writing about it.

“Humility is the ability to view yourself accurately as an individual with talents as well as flaws while being void of arrogance and low self-esteem. Some believe that humility is having low opinions of yourself, low self-esteem, and a lack of confidence. It is in fact the
opposite, humility is having the self-esteem to understand that even though you are doing well, you do not have to brag or gloat about it.

It is important to stay humble because having humility not only helps you develop a more kind approach to interacting with others but it also influences how you perceive yourself and the world around you.
Humility helps one extend more compassion and empathy to others.

Most would consider humility the antonym of pride and may associate pride as being a bad trait to possess. Pride is the appreciation of
yourself and your beliefs, it is having confidence and assurance that you are an important and relevant contribution to this world.
However, if pride becomes extreme that is when humility is absent and a person may exhibit selfish or narcissistic behaviors.”
~ Tiara Blain

“Humility is the courage to go beyond one’s limits – it is what lifts us, makes us grow and expands our hearts. And it is only through it that we learn to truly love…

We can’t learn, practice or study humility – we must mature in life
itself before we have the opportunity to truly develop it.
Mindfulness, self-love, letting go, honesty, devotion, gratitude – all of these will ultimately lead to humility.”
~ Dorothee Teves

“Humility is the courage to descend into one’s depth and darkness.”
” Humility is not a goal, but a constant touchstone on this path – it asks and questions again and again: who are you – why do you do what you do?”
~ Benedictine Father Anselm Grün

“The attitude of humility frees us from false prestige; At the same time, however, it requires a healthy dose of self-confidence, because it is
often harder than you think to see and accept yourself as you are and not as you would like to be.”
~ Cistercians of the Abbey Seligenthal

“Humility is a virtue of the second half of life, in which it is about
letting go of the outward orientation, the striving for recognition and prestige; turning inward to listen to those voices of the unconscious that challenge the standards of the conscious.”
~ C. G. Jung
