Humility really means to see clearly.

  To see that as a human being the reality is that I am not perfect.  There are some areas I am strong in - that I have gifts, abilities, talents, skills - and some that I am weak in.  None of us human beings are perfect in our humanness - we are all perfect in our Spiritual essence.

One person will be talented in one area but weak in another.  Because we got the message in childhood that we were supposed to be perfect, that it was shameful to be 'wrong' - and we were taught to look outside and compare ourselves to determine our worth - we focused on our strengths as proof we were better than others.  Which also meant we needed to deny our weaknesses - or deny that the areas in which we were weak had any importance.  Humility is about owning both our strengths and our weaknesses - and realizing that all human beings have both strengths and weaknesses.
