Content: We can all do the same things in our lives and admit that we all make mistakes and own up to them. In a famous passage in Matthew 18, Jesus takes a child from the crowd and uses it as an example, saying “whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. As we grow older, it becomes increasingly harder to see ourselves as less important than others. Jesus used a child as an example exactly because it cannot think of itself more important than others. When you have to listen to your parents, humility is hardly a trait, but more a given. Humility also helps us overcome conflicts and obstacles in life and thereby create harmonious situations in both our personal and professional lives. The same way arrogance can repel people, humility can bring them closer. Being humble also empowers the people around you. When people are made to feel important, they become capable. They are able to recognize their own power and confidently embrace it in order to become better people in life.
