Be Humble

Be humble, the third of Mikao Usui’s Precepts, a very old fashioned word; and what does it really mean anyway? Dictionary.com gives this definition:

1. not proud or arrogant; modest: to be humble although successful.
2. having a feeling of insignificance, inferiority, subservience, etc.
3. low in rank, importance, status, quality, etc.; lowly: of humble origin; a humble home.
4. courteously respectful: In my humble opinion you are wrong.
5. low in height, level, etc.; small in size: a humble member of the galaxy.

Alright – so now we know what it means, but how do we go about being humble? What does it take to make a person humble?

Possibly one of the best ways to be humble is to be thankful for everything, even the things that are not very pleasant.
