Tell others, humble, but forget to humble yourself.

When we teach others to be humble, but forget to humble ourselves.

The word "humble" is a word that many people talk about, many people admire, and many people use it as something they want to see in others, but sometimes the thing to consider is that while we call others to be humble, have we ever looked back to see if our hearts are really humble?

True humility is not just politeness, bowing of the head, or outwardly humble gestures, because they are just patterns that others can see, but true humility goes deeper.

It's at the temptation.

Tend ideas

And reduce the ego inside us.

A true humble person is not one who thinks he is incompetent or inferior to others, but one who knows he is valued by accepting that he has something he does not know, has something to learn, and has an angle he may not see.

Sometimes we might find people who say,

"Don't be too proud."

"Must know some humility."

"Don't think of yourself better than others."

But while saying those sentences, he may not open up space to the thoughts of others, may not accept words, may always see his own opinion as more correct.

Here, the important question arises:

Are we teaching humility because we understand it, or because we want others to be what we want?

Because sometimes the ego does not always come in the form of boasting. The ego may come in the form of someone who thinks he knows, is a judge, who sees the guilt of others well, but never sees his own shortcomings.

It is easy to see other people's mistakes because we are outside their lives, but it is harder to see their mistakes because we have to accept certain truths that may not match the image we want to be.

Before telling anyone to be humble, you might ask yourself:

"Am I as open to listening to others as I would to people listening to me?"

"Can I accept it? If someone reflects my flaws?"

"Am I warning with good intentions, or am I using my own authenticity to press the other down?"

Because true humility does not bring us down, but it does not require us to exalt ourselves above others.

A person with real humility may be a very talented, very knowledgeable or very experienced person, but he can also always listen, accept and learn from others.

After all, it's not wrong to teach others to be good, but what's more important is that before we reach out to others, have we ever turned around and refined ourselves?

Because sometimes the hardest lesson is not to tell others to change.

But to recognize that we also have things to change.
