“To be humble does not mean that we are ‘less than,’ but that we are ready to accept the possibility that there is some wisdom that we still do not fully possess,” says Tashi Nyima, the preceptor at Universal Compassion Buddhist Congregation in Dallas, Texas. Be a person who embraces opportunities to practice humility. Author and rabbi Joseph Telushkin suggests asking these types of questions of yourself to bring humility into your life:
- Do I respect people whose opinions differ from mine?
- Do I try to better understand those who disagree with me on important issues?
- Do I have the maturity to change my mind on a strongly held position?
- Do I listen to others with the sense I can learn something from them?
- Do I solicit and actively seek out perspectives different from my own?
