Humility does not require us to deny or downplay our ability. It just requires that we don’t let our ability overshadow our humanity or our spirituality. Some people think that to be humble means that I pretend not to have the abilities that I have. No, those abilities are gifts given by God to us, and we are meant to use them. But what humility does require is for us to remember that we are not just performers. We are not just singers or speakers or writers or managers, but that we are souls. We are human bodies on a spiritual journey. As long as we retain our humanity, make human connections with others, and retain our spirituality by connecting with God, then our ability won’t steal our humility.

(Inspired by Bhagavad-Gita 13.08)
