Humility

Mother Teresa, the nun, had good self-esteem. She even dared to speak against abortion at the
National Prayer Breakfast in 1993 before her invited hosts President Bill Clinton, and Vice
President Al Gore, and their spouses. That's guts. That's self-confidence. And that's humility.
All saints understood that humility is the way to nail down a good self-esteem by depending on
God rather than oneself. It's the understand that everything comes from God and that God is
everything.

Mother Teresa called humility the mother of all virtues. She said: "If you are humble nothing
will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed
you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal."

3 Myths about Humility

1. The humble souls lacks confidence. "The most humble people out there are some of the
confident and sometimes some of the most prideful people are the most insecure," he said.
"Humble souls know their life is dependent on God and know what to value - things
lasting not passing. They value the Lord over anything else.

2. Humility is not attractive. "True humility is attractive," he explained. "It is the humble
person who listens and cares about others as opposed to the one focused on their self and
trying to look good.

3. Humble people want to be recognized as humble. Father Johnson explained that

wanting to look humble is false humility. In reality, he said they simple want to do
something because it is right and they are not looking for praise.
