Humilty

Humility is an odd thing. Once you realize you're being humble, you're not really humble anymore.

How, then, does one maintain it? By being unassuming, of course, such as an Ernie Harwell or Fr. Solanus. You certainly don't keep it by thinking about it or dwelling upon it.

But that seems to make the whole task impossible. How can you not consider something which is widely accepted as a valuable trait and expect to develop and keep it as a part of you?

It is a point to ponder. Good luck with it.
