#masculinity #stoicism #selfimprovement Humility is the ability to view yourself accurately as an individual with talents as well as flaws while being void of arrogance and low self-esteem. Humility isn’t always seen as a strength but sometime is thought of as a weakness. Some believe that humility is having low opinions of yourself, low self-esteem, and a lack of confidence. It is in fact the opposite, humility is having the self-esteem to understand that even though you are doing well, you do not have to brag or gloat about it, because you're not perfect. It is important to stay humble because having humility not only helps you develop a more kind approach to interacting with others but it also influences how you perceive yourself and the world around you. Humility helps one extend more compassion and empathy to others. Those who practice humility are more likely to consider others’ beliefs and opinions. This is most likely because humility offers the opportunity to become less self-involved and more attuned with the feelings of others. This doesn't mean that you become a fickle minded individual who can't stand for something because you consider other's opinions. It simply means that you are willing to make thoroughly sound judgements without being stubbornly ignorant.
