The best response when life humbles us is to humble ourselves even more. How do we humble ourselves? When the word humble is used as a verb, it means to lower. The idea is that we think too highly of ourselves, or too much of ourselves or simply too much about ourselves and this is bad. One way we can humble ourselves is by lifting others up and assigning a greater importance to their feelings and benefit than we do our own.
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.’ Phil.2 Conversations Within” ts 12/10/2016
