[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are attending Catholic school and focusing on different virtues.  They are talking about humility right now.  I love hearing their thoughts and ideas on how they are thinking about their own strengths and weaknesses and appreciating the strengths of their classmates.  
I’m working on incorporating this more into my own adult life, and I’m wondering how other people think about it.  [/quote]

Thank you for this provocative question OP

Here are some ways that I am reminded of the need for humility

- respecting all life as divinely valuable

- Practicing the Golden Rule / not using other people as means to serve my desired ends

- Forgiving those who hurt me

- Forgiving myself while trying to do better

- Being aware that most of life is outside my control but striving to be responsible, engaged and kind in whatever small ways I can

- being open to the wisdom of others and other faith traditions

Forgot to add respect for science and the collaboration between many brainy people needed to produce solid science and evidence based policies. [/quote].
