How to Become a Humble Person?

Appreciate your talents. Being humble doesn't mean you can't feel good about you. Self-esteem is not the same as pride. Both come from a recognition of your own talents and qualities, but pride the kind of pride that leans toward arrogance is rooted in insecurity about yourself. Think about the abilities you have and be thankful for them. Understand your limitations. No matter how talented you are, there is almost always somebody who can do something better than you can. Look to those who are better much better than you are in something to remember that you are not the best while also considering the potential for improvement. Also, even if you are the best in the world at doing one thing, there are other things important, worthwhile things that you cannot do, and you may never be able to do some of these things. Add to this the fact that there are a great many things that no person can do, and you can get some idea of your limitations. Recognizing your limitations does not mean abandoning your dreams, and it doesn't mean giving up on learning new things or improving your existing abilities. It does mean coming to terms with the very real limits of your abilities. Recognize your own faults. We judge others because it's a lot easier than looking at our own faults. Unfortunately, it's also completely unproductive and, in many cases, harmful. Judging others causes strife in relationships, and it prevents new relationships from forming. Perhaps even worse, it prevents us from trying to improve ourselves. We make judgments about others all the time, and we often don't even realize it. As a practical exercise, try to catch yourself in the act of judging another person or group of people, and whenever you do, judge yourself instead and consider how you could improve yourself. Stop comparing: it’s because, it's just about impossible to be humble when we're striving to be the "best" or trying to be "better" than others. Instead, try describing things more objectively. Rather than saying that so and so is the best guitarist ever, say what exactly it is that you appreciate about his skills, or simply say that you like his playing style. Appreciate the talents and qualities of others. Challenge yourself to look at others and appreciate the things they can do and, more generally, to appreciate people for who they are. Understand that everybody is different and relish the chance you have to experience different people. You will still have your personal tastes, your likes and dislikes, but train yourself to separate your opinions from your fears and you will appreciate others more you will be humbler. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Never be afraid to admit that you made a mistake. Part of being humble is understanding that you will make mistakes. Understand this, and understand that everyone else makes mistakes, and you will have a heavy burden lifted off of you. Why do we make mistakes? Because we don't know everything. Any one person can know only the smallest bits and pieces of the tremendous knowledge that has accumulated over the past. What's more, we experience only a sliver of the present, and we know nothing of the future. Don't be afraid to defer to others' judgment. It's easy to acknowledge that you make mistakes and that you're not always right. Somewhat more difficult however, is the ability to acknowledge that in many cases other people--even people who disagree with

Undeniably, it’s really hard to stay humble, considering that we, people, are usually living with pride. But being proud will not give us any good things in life. Moreover, pride is one of darkest forces that can ruin not only our lives, but also the existence of our souls and spirits. People can tell that pride destroys good relationships, such as marriage and friendship. It can also destroy your own happiness and can even deter your success. Well, I have said a lot of bad things about pride and being so much proud of oneself. But that is the truth; pride is evil. Pride is the opposite of humility, and if humility is good, then what is the opposite of good? Isn’t it evil? If your proud, don’t worry, you are not evil  it is the pride within you that is evil.

To defeat the force of pride, we need:

Love
If you want to achieve humility, you need to backup it with other great virtues, such as compassion, forgiveness and kindness. You cannot become humble to someone if you hate someone. That is why becoming humble is so hard, because it also means becoming someone who possess all the qualities that support it. Humility does not live alone. It should co-exist with other good virtues to live long. Moreover, all these virtues should be united. This is why we must have love, because love is the one that bind all these virtues in perfect harmony. Love will also bind and connect all the four qualities below to work us one.

Insight
Insight is your chosen knowledge, your acted wisdom, and your valued understanding. People tend to become proud because they don’t pay attention to the consequences. Although we know that humility will keep us away from troubles, most of us still don’t practice it. The reason is that most of us, who are used to be proud, have not tried to become humble for a longer period of time. If we will only practice humility for months or years, then we will realize and understand how it indeed keeps us away from troubles and really gives us joy and peace. Furthermore, by making it a habit and a way of life, we will become truly humble.

Gentleness

Gentle people naturally love peace and order. They walk like doves; they are prudent. To become a humble person, you need to have gentleness in your mouth to avoid pompous talking. You also need to have a gentle mind and heart to avoid portentous thoughts and intentions. Moreover, you also need to have gentle hands to avoid hasty and harsh actions. Gentleness is achieved through self-control, a virtue that should be observed and be practiced at all time. This keeps us away from wrath brought by vengeance. This also prevent  us from being proud and lovers of fame, which are commonly caused by envy. So be gentle, if you want to become humble.

Honor

Many people misunderstood pride as a good virtue. That is why most of them do everything to protect their pride and not let anyone take it away from them.  Well, don’t keep and protect this dark thing within you. Instead, throw it away and replace it with honor. Most people view pride and honor as the same, but they are making a big mistake… they are opposite to each other.

Toughness

So in order to become humble, you bind your insight, gentleness and honor using your love. And to complete it, you should bind them with toughness. Pride is difficult to overcome; it can easily conquer us. That is why we need to have strength, firmness and resistance to establish humility and overthrow the force of pride. If we are weak, we will easily be tempted by the comfort and effortlessness promised by pride. Hence, be strong and stand firm in the side of humility. Remember that being humble is such a great task. That is why only great people can do it. Therefore, you got to be tough to do one of the most difficult jobs of life – to be humble.
