Is continuing to serve others a good way to stay grounded?

[Anonymous]

In my youth, I never had any success. No job, no friends, big health issues. Now in my thirties, I have my family, a cute guy who adores me and a group of loving friends, I have a job and I’m healthy and beautiful. I’m currently humble, but I want to stay humble. Is making a conscious effort to think of others and put their needs first a good way to stay humble? I’m getting lots of compliments and being told often how wonderful I am and how beautiful I am. I want to remain down to earth.

humble means something else. the two concepts are separate but both in new testament

How did you do it?

Stay humble, or overcome my problems? Family support, in both cases, determination, making the effort to better myself, learning gratitude and fearing the lord. Also, making a conscious effort to see beauty as a temporary gift from God that won’t last. Like The Corrs song, Borrowed Heaven.

I was hoping that you brought up the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s awesome.

I guess also, noticing who stood by me when I was fat and dumpy. Learning who really loves me for me and learning to value those who’ve stood by me through the hard years.
