So humility is you smiling, full of yourself.

It isn't you flaunting modesty, believing yourself modest.

It isn't you claiming to be null or illusory before others.

It isn't you denying that you are special and unique among others.

It isn't you opposing the existence of an ego you blame for everything.

It isn't you forgetting yourself while your life tips over out of control.

It isn't you ceasing to shine, believing yourself small.

So humility is you allowing yourself to be what you are.

Even if you are pretentious, egotistical or modest.

So humility is you shining the way you shine.

Even if you span the whole universe and all of life.

So humility is you loving yourself, full of yourself.
