Humility!

“Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues.”

            ~ Confucius

“Be humble in your confidence yet courageous in your character.”

            ~ Melanie Koulouris

“Small acts of humility can slowly change the world.”

            ~ Unknown

“It takes great humility to acknowledge the light and enormity of others.”

            ~ Anonymous

The awesome power of humility reminds me how small I am in the amazing world around me.  I think that humility makes us more likeable and better people.  I also suggest that it keeps us honest to know ourselves.  Humility grants us the ability to see a truthful view of ourselves while acknowledging our mistakes and limitations.  Humility opens our eyes to others while appreciating the value of others.

When we spend time listening to others, living in present moments, being grateful for what we have and asking for help we indeed foster and reveal humility.  Humility is a great attribute when we are extremely aware of our self and when we can keep all things in perspective.
