An Epiphany on Humility

I was praying the joyful mysteries of the rosary last night, when I realized that in an effort to be more humble, I was just beating myself down.

For example: “I’m creative, but not the most creative/as creative as others.”

I realized that was not a healthy perspective, since the point of humility is that it ought to be directed towards God.

Instead: “I am creative because God has granted me a spirit of creativity.”

This way, I can acknowledge my skills without taking all the credit and still glorifying God.

Thank you for listening to my TEDtalk.
