AN ATTITUDE OF HUMILITY – “An attitude of humility is not the same as humiliation, nor is it a denial of our good qualities. On the contrary, an attitude of humility means that we have a realistic view of ourselves and our place in the world.” (It Works, How & Why, p. 49)

GETTING IT UNTWISTED – “Many people confuse humility with humiliation. But humiliation is a form of abuse and has no place in our spiritual growth. When we speak of humility, we speak about self-
acceptance.” (How Al-Anon Works, pg. 56)

“I just try to try to keep an attitude that I don’t know what I’m doing. Not to the point where I’m beating myself up, but I just go in thinking that I have a lot to learn.  And I hope I still have that attitude 30 years from now.”

In what ways have you been humble where you used to be arrogant in the past, lately?

The Human Abstract
by William Blake

Pity would be no more,
If we did not make somebody Poor;
And Mercy no more could be.

If all were as happy as we;

And mutual fear brings peace;
Till the selfish loves increase.

Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.

He sits down with holy fears.

And waters the ground with tears:
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.

Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of Mystery over his head;
And the Caterpillar and Fly
Feed on the Mystery.

And it bears the fruit of Deceit.

Ruddy and sweet to eat:
And the Raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade.

The Gods of the earth and sea,
Sought thro’ Nature to find this Tree
But their search was all in vain:
There grows one in the Human Brain
