Must admit I would find it hard to distinguish between being humble and being overly nice through guilt. Did Sandi go into much detail here (can't remember the actual posting)? You're doing great BTW!
The most deceitful person in the world can act overly nice. Consider words that are totally opposite of humility, and you'll be describing a WW, in part. For example........arrogance, egoism, bold, daring, self-importance, pride, brash......and many more.
Let's say I had treated you as horrible as anyone could treat another human being. One day something happens that puts my life in serious danger. Then who comes along just in time to save me? You do. When I see my life depends upon your decision to save me.........and especially, if it should put your own life at risk.......can you imagine the feelings that might rush into my heart? Deep remorse? For sure! And a knowledge of how much I do not deserve to be save by the person I treated so horribly. So, being the person that you are.....you do save my life. The thankfulness and relief I feel, is beyond words. There is no "self-importance" in this act. There is no sense of entitlement, or false pride. My heart is completely humbled by who/what I have been.......and who/what you are!
I don't know if this is a good anology, but I have to leave. I'll try to finish later.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
