HUMILITY – The quality or condition of being humble; imitate Jesus and Socrates.
Welcome to the Saturday Blog Party! This week’s topic is Humility. This means we are looking for everything and anything on the topic! Tips and tools for encouraging humility, times you personally showed some or witnessed it, or times when you failed… old favorites or one of the latest posts, literally Everything and Anything on the topic are all welcome.
I’m going to start things off by
directing you to three posts I think speak beautifully on this topic.
Check them out and add your own finds in the linky below. Remember NEW and OLD posts by you and others are welcome, just tell us when you are sharing someone else’s work!
- Being Humble: What does that mean?– A terrific post from Mike King of Learn This. He also has a list of 50 Ways to Be More Humble and to Act Humbly and other resources on humility… a virtual Humility extravaganza!! Entirely worth a stop!
- Humility, three lessons and a birthday– From one of my favorite stops on the internet, Chris Guillebeau’s The Art of Non-Comformity. “When you ask for adventure, you don’t always know what you’ll get.”
- Humility Quotes– From Wisdom Commons, this is THE most comprehensive list of quotes on humility (and other things!) that I have found. Awesome. Excellent. If you are into quotes this is a not to be missed page.
Here are the ground rules for this party:
- Share NEW and OLD posts on the topic. This is your chance to share your favorite posts. If they fit the topic and you think we could benefit it doesn’t matter when you wrote it. Wisdom is timeless!
- Share your’s and other’s posts! Ran across a timely tidbit? Let us hear about it too! When sharing someone else’s posts please designate this after the listing and please say submitted by using your name or blog name.
- Leave a comment after posting letting us know why you think the post is worth our time. We are building a knowledge library and your context makes it all the more valuable!
- Have Fun! I hope to make this party a fun and valuable addition to your weekend blog hopping.
Note: This link up list will stay active so feel free to add items at any time. I will likely pick a guest feature from the collection so PLEASE don’t be shy about adding your best posts! If you don’t have a blog to share, photos, ETSY collections and essays are most welcome. Let me know if you need help linking them up!
I look forward to visiting all the treasures YOU add to the collection!
Outrageous Joy,
Kathy
P.S. Next week we will be “Speaking of Surprise” and looking for posts and places that will foster this Bliss Habit!
SURPRISE – A sudden feeling of wonder or astonishment; to come upon or discover suddenly and unexpectedly.
LOVE this idea! A while back a friend and I were discussing the delicate balance of humility and confidence, and how too much of either turns into self-depreciation or arrogance. It’s a delicate art. Enjoy the drawing! http://itstartswith.com/2011/07/humility-and-confidence-do-you-have-both/
🙂 Thanks for this, Kathy.
In flash moments I’m humbled all the time (guess I need it). Your request reminds me of this post I wrote for Buddha’s birthday, about being stranded on a snake infested island….

This is a lovely invitation, thank you.
Here’s the second of two posts about turning the inner snark voice of “Who Do You Think You Are” inside out to discover the blessing and opening of real humility (not shame) inside. http://www.stinkwanink.com/2011/05/whos-doer.html
