The Path to Genuine Humility: Shifting Focus from Self to Service
While practicing humility with the help of the Holy Spirit, I realized I was often just trying to appear "humble," which was actually disguised pride.
My unconscious thoughts had formed a flawed concept: "I am better than others because I possess humility, and they do not," or "Others are not superior to me because I have the virtue of humility."
This faulty perception showed me that my approach to self-improvement was incorrect. I discovered that by shifting my focus from myself to others, my behavior can change more naturally.
Instead of asking, "How can I be humble?" we should ask, "How can I serve others better?"
I know that I will face difficulties in the process of cultivating humility, but I will not fear, because God is always with me.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
