Being humble isn't a trait. It's a skill.

If you perceive somebody to be humble, it is not their personality you're perceiving.

Instead, its certain actions that they take in order to be considered a "humble person"

And TRUE humility is about the INTENTION behind those actions.

And when I started taking these actions, over time I truly rewired my brain to think differently.

Here's a definition of humility that changed my entire worldview:

"Humility is not decreased in regard for self, but it's increase in regard for others."

And here are the actions I took, which completely retrained my brain how to think:

1) Reminding myself constantly that no matter what room I was in everybody there had more to teach me than I had to teach them.

2) when I'm complimented, kindly accept the compliment with a smile, a "thank you, i appreciate it", and nothing more. Maybe acknowledge someone else's involvement, and pass along credit.

3) when in a conversation, and do you feel the need to interject your thoughts into somebody else's sentence, don't. You'd be amazed the things you learn when you hold back from speaking and allow the other person to finish.

Bonus #4) if you can find ways to truly help people, do those things immediately, and genuinely expect nothing in return, DO IT. Not only will you earn the "selfless" badge, but the "humility" badge also comes with that.

Now, let me make this very clear:

Even though I referred to these as badges above, there is no virtue in doing these things. When there is expectation of return.

MEANING:

YOU TRULY HAVE TO BE OKAY WITH NOBODY GIVING YOU ANYTHING IN RETURN AT ANY POINT.

Because if there's any portion of you that truly believes you are owed anything by anybody, your humility is not genuine. Nor is your selflessness.

And believe me, it is a daily thought exercise that you have to work on.

You'll have to remind yourself daily that nobody owes you anything.

You'll have to remind yourself daily that you are not as good as you think you are.

And eventually that frame of thinking becomes default in your brain.
