Danny, It was a great article thank you very much. It is really true or I agree that "to improve ourselves, we must have the "HUMILITY" and "HONESTY" to look at ourselves objectively and self-discipline to learn from our mistakes. Hi! Danny,

I address the "laziness" thing a little bit in my recent post about <a href="http://beinspiredeveryday.com/2012/04/17/get-rid-of-self-sabotage-once-and-for-all/" title="Get Rid Of Self Sabotage Once And For All" rel="nofollow">Self Sabotage</a>. I think the key is convincing yourself through and through that the decisions you make in life are worth working for. That's easier said than done though. The biggest part of the challenge is facing uncertainty. You know that watching TV and other menial tasks will give you a certain amount of pleasure and make you feel safe and secure. When you branch out and do something new and meaningful, you can't know for certain what's going to happen. So, getting excited about and having faith in your goals is essential. @Dan – Yes, it made a lot of sense in a messy sort of way: messy like life can be.

How do i motivate myself to actually do follow these tips? It just seems so much easier to lay back and watch TV and do other menial tasks which give the illusion of alleviating boredom but really leave you doing just that, giving you an illusion so instead of alleviating the boredom you just continue 'trying' to alleviate it leading to a trap of trying to alleviate boredom while simultaneously alleviating it by doing so!?!? Wow! Hope that made sense :) Thanks for the tips Danny, you should be called Danny the Man..ny? haha anyway i think your tips are really good but what to do when your too lazy to execute them? i guess that’s a whole other ball game – motivation.

I had come across this word hundreds of times without knowing what it really meant or involved. I had been abused growing up. This has led to certain perceptions I hold today so instead of the humility I needed to be practicing I kept trying to please people and was affected by their opinions of me. I was led today to this scripture in Romans 12: 16-17 and just knew it was for me! I am very competitive and try to be the best I can be but I now realize that it was for the wrong motives. I always had a judgmental, suspicious and critical mind on others and their actions which resulted in poor relationships over the years. I hope I may apply these and change the person I've become. Thanks again! Everyone needs a dose of humility! Thank you so much for the practical help I needed for so long.

Recently divorced and STILL heading down the wrong path. I know the path I need to be on. Written life action plans, therapy, 12 steps, etc. I KNOW what and where I need to go, but continually fail (resist?) to go that way. I thinks it's "the devil you know..." or excuses or don't want to do the hard thing (sacrifice, feel uncomfortable, be consistent) I am great at talking but don't finish anything. I know where I am going to end up if I don't Radically Change. I have talent and intelligence but never did anything with it. I'm not sure exactly why I am writing to you or what I want/ need to hear. Maybe I am expecting some Magical wisdom that will make what I know I have to do easier. Actually, I think your website (and highlighted links) ARE that wisdom. I just need a major kick in the ass (head?) Sorry for the rant. And thank you. Rick Danny,

As humble people, we don't want people to walk all over us. It is also a disservice to others for us to enable their non-humble behavior by allowing them to take credit for our work. Here are a couple ideas from one humility seeker to another: <ul> <li>Be conscious of your own intentions when you approach someone. Do it from a place of caring and humility rather than anger and defensiveness.</li> <li>If you're too angry to be objective, give yourself time to cool off first.</li> <li>Choose not to take their actions personally by realizing that their behaviors are a reflection of their own shortcomings and not yours.</li> <li>Question their behavior with a curious mindset rather than a confrontational one. Say, "I noticed you did/said .... Are you aware that ....? I'm not comfortable with that." Rather than, "Why would you do .... That pisses me off!"</li> <li>Practice patience. It is almost always the case that meaningful & valuable contributions are noticed in time.</li> </ul> I hope that helps. @Working – This is a difficult balance.

My struggle is that I have been doing lots of charity work and can't stop feeling that I'm being taken advantage of. Others take credit for my work and this makes me sooo angry. I have decided not to call those folks on the fact because it would be petty, confrontational, and not humble. I'm guessing this is humility but are you supposed to let yourself be wronged by others and let it go? Or fight and stand up for yourself?
