Jeremy Taylor wrote a list of nineteen different things that
one can do to become more humble. The easiest one for me to do is number
thirteen, which talks about praising others. I really enjoy making other people
light up by complimenting them. I do not see
others' success as a threat to me when I am the one giving the praise. The
hardest one for me, however, is number eleven, which talks about feeling angry
when people undervalue you. This is extremely hard for me. I take criticism so
personally, and then hold resentment against others. Words of affirmation are
definitely my love language. Therefore, when people fail to let me know that I
am doing well, I feel unloved and unappreciated. This is so hard to overcome. I
am always learning that my value comes from God, and he loves me even when I
fail.
