GETTING IT UNTWISTED -
"Many people confuse humility with humiliation. But humiliation is a form of abuse and has no place in our spiritual growth. When we speak of humility, we speak about self-acceptance." (How Al-Anon Works, pg. 56)
AN ATTITUDE OF HUMILITY -
"An attitude of humility is not the same as humiliation, nor is it a denial of our good qualities. On the contrary, an attitude of humility means that we have a realistic view of ourselves and our place in the world." (It Works, How & Why, p. 49)
"I just try to try to keep an attitude that I don't know what I'm doing. Not to the point where I'm beating myself up, but I just go in thinking that I have a lot to learn. And I hope I still have that attitude 30 years from now."
- Tobey Maguire (1975 - ) U.S. actor, aka Spiderman
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
