Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself. It’s thinking of yourself less.

C. S. Lewis, a renowned writer and theologian, emphasizes that humility is not self-deprecation but a shift of focus away from oneself.

True humility allows us to listen, empathize, and support others without feeling the need to assert our own importance constantly. By thinking of yourself less, you create space for collaboration, learning, and deeper connections. This mindset fosters authentic leadership and more meaningful relationships, as people feel seen and valued.

Identify one situation today where you can step back and focus more on others’ needs, contributions, or perspectives rather than your own.

Notice how this shift changes your interactions and the dynamics around you.
