9 Simple Ways to Practice Humility

1) Speak as little as possible about yourself

There is a difference between someone who is boastful and a braggart, and someone who speaks with confidence.

Everyone knows that guy. He can’t help but tell everyone how awesome he is.

But the truth is–if he was really that cool, why would he have to tell everyone?

Practicing humility means you speak and act with confidence, but you never have to talk about yourself.

2) Mind your own business

There's an old adage that says, "There are 3 sides to every story. There's what you say happened. There's what the other person said happened. And there's what really happened."

The reality is, whatever the situation, you don’t know the whole story.

It’s easy to assume you understand what's going on and make a judgment. But the reality is, you know nothing about what's going on in other people's situations.

So mind your own business and stay out of everyone else's.

3) Don't try to manage other people's affairs

Except on rare occasions when someone specifically asks you for help, keep your advice to yourself.

No matter how well-intentioned your motive.
