Join us for our October dinner discussion!
One of the 10 Commitments of Humanism is humility.
From https://americanhumanistcenterforeducation.org/ten-commitments/
“I will be aware of my strengths and weaknesses, and appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of others.”
Humility means displaying modesty about accomplishments, talents, gifts, or importance of self. It acknowledges we humans are fallible and have limitations in what we know and can do. Being humble isn’t about having low self-esteem or denigrating oneself. Humility at its core is robust self-awareness—awareness of our strengths and weaknesses, our faults and our merits. Humility involves setting aside personal pride and overcoming our egos to embrace gratitude for what we have and appreciate others for who they are. In being humble, we recognize our own value in relation to others; inherently, we are neither better nor worse than anyone else.
What does humility mean to you? What do you do to demonstrate this? Come join us and be prepared to share your best practices and ask questions of the other attendees!
