Secretly I think and act like I am the center of the universe even though I’m not.

Do nothing from the perspective that you are the center of the universe, rather, see God as the center and extend a hand to all others, broken as you. Philippians 2:3 and Romans 3:23  paraphrase

Here are five habits to learn to humility in action.

  • Listen.  You do not need to comment on everything.  Listen more than you speak. The first duty of love is to listen. Paul Tillich
  • Apologize.  It’s ok to say other people are right and that you’ve made a mistake.  Everyone makes mistakes.
  • Ask for feedback.  Be open to what others say.
  • Recognize.  Be quick to give credit to others.
  • Ask for help.  Few things communicate more powerfully than asking for help.
