The humble person thinks of others, viewing them as those who are made in the image of God. The humble person is not looking to ‘people please,’ but to please God. In this way, the humble person is not blind to their own strengths, because they are looking to see how their strengths can help others. They are self-aware without being self-consumed.”

“Here’s the real beauty of humility: it’s a relational virtue. Humility is not just about ourselves, not simply a personal virtue. It is an intrapersonal and interpersonal quality. A humble person prioritizes the needs of a group or relationship, rather than primarily focusing on the self. That is not to say they neglect their own needs, but rather that they are aware of their own needs as well as those of others. If they aren’t aware of their own needs, prioritizing the needs of others becomes an unhealthy people-pleasing mindset. A humble person has the courage to identify their own needs, the confidence to keep those in mind, and the care to consider others at the core.”
