“Humility, the state of being humble, is often misunderstood; it is not a state of weakness, but of strength. It does not mean inferiority, resignation or submission; these imply that we are still resisting our need for help. When we are humble, we are totally willing to accept God's help, knowing that without it we cannot progress further. In humility we possess self-esteem, accept ourselves as we are, assets and defects alike, and extend the same acceptance to others. We are learning to recognize humility in others; we are attracted to them and we learn from them.” SupportSelf DiscoverySpiritual GrowthEmotional Health Book:Paths to Recovery: Al-Anon's Steps, Traditions and Concepts Source: Paths to Recovery: Al-Anon's Steps, Traditions and Concepts
