Content: Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much of a difference we can make in the lives of others. -Gordon B. Hinckley
Check the Other Side
If you think you’re an expert in a certain area and have nothing more to learn, you are probably lacking humility. Humility involves knowing as much as you can about something and then being humble enough to check the other side. When we are experts in teaching, we can choose to become a student and look at the world through that lens so we can learn the full scope of what there is to know. I truly believe that it’s difficult to fully understand something until you understand its opposite. We understand happiness because we know sadness. We know what it’s like to have not because at one point we had. When we are humble, we are open to knowing more so that we can grow and develop to a higher degree. We never know everything — we are always looking for more knowledge and deeper experiences so we can see the entire picture to the best of our ability. In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.
