I don't think humility is something everyone understands fully. To me, humility isn't the same as low self esteem. Humility is realizing your weaknesses, but that's not all there is to it. Humility is recognizing your weaknesses but also accepting him, and recognizing your strengths as well. Self pity is a form of pride people don't often see. Someone who is truly humble doesn't see themselves as being better or worse than anyone else; they don't compare themselves to others at all. They see the strengths and weaknesses in others as well, congratulating and praising them for their accomplishments and helping them with the weaknesses through service.
To be humble, first think of people in your life and list the things that are great about them, whether it be talents you admire or qualities about them (physical or otherwise). Remember that everyone is unique and has different amazing qualities. Next, list your favorite things about yourself..maybe you like your eye color or your freckles. Maybe you like the fact that you're patient or maybe you're very friendly. Start with small things or obvious things until you can see all the good in you. Then, recognize your weaknesses not as things you hate, but things you can improve on, or things that just might not be meant for you. Life isn't about being perfect, it's about getting better day by day.
