Humility is not humiliation, though humiliation could bring us to it.
It was not gratitude, though humility could bring us gratitude.
For me, humility relates to power:
it is the recognition and acceptance of the limits of my own power.
I therefore began to understand that humility
was indeed the foundation of all the Steps,
and so could be a healer of pain, a way to spiritual freedom,
and a turning point in our lives.
Many people haven't even a nodding acquaintance
with humility as a way of life.
