Humility
A virtue opposite to pride. A humble person has overcome the ego—because they understand that change must always be internal—and has developed a great capacity for service. A humble person is one who is able to acknowledge a mistake and learn from it.

Humility is not poverty; it is the quality that allows us to put an end to the ego, suffering, and pride as the great obstacles to happiness.
All of this shows up in our lives as humility.
This is part of an exercise in humility: clearly saying, “I was wrong,” since the ego doesn’t like to say it.
