Thread Name: False humility...and real humility.
Subject: RE: False humility...and real humility.
The definition that's stayed with me longest, was given to me by a Priest when I laughingly challenged his humility as he praised his own performance. His response.."Humility is the acceptance of facts." Yes, Little Hawk to accept and to share gifts graciously requires true humility. Here abouts I usually take the phrase to either identify an openess to hear others opinions, or a spoon of sugar to help a tough message go down.For me to use IMHO is a self reminder of to use my gifts well, choose my words carefully, and listen. On rare moments, I even get it right.
