In life, it is easy to get a little over confident or cocky, especially when success seems to be all that you encompass. Instead of getting too cocky, we have to be willing to find a way to humble ourselves. One of the best ways to do this is to simply stop thinking of us, and our accomplishments, and to switch our focus to helping others to become successful as well. To be humble one must not be willing to think of oneself as less, but one must be willing to think of himself, less, as quoted by evangelist Rick Warren.

Being humble isn't shouting off of the rooftops on a daily basis how great you are, being humble is being full of grace, full of self confidence but willing to swallow your pride if the situation calls for you to do so. Remember that humility is the parent to the other virtuous traits a person may desire, and is key if a person needs to embrace them.
