Dabaadendiziwin

We can talk of humility, but until we can look at the

squirrel sitting on the branch and know we are no greater and no less than her, it is only then that we have walked with humility

Humility is a state of positioning oneself in a way that

does not favour one’s own importance over another’s

Humility is a condition of being teachable
Humility allows us to recognize our dependence on
thers and to consider their perspectives along with
ur own
To measure out or be careful with your thoughts and

views and appropriately apportion your judgements

Looking outside of your own worldview and

considering another perspective

SLIDE 12

Balance

Humility is not about viewing oneself as being above or below another. It is instead seeing all life as equally deserving of respect. Space must be taken up as necessary, just as it must be given away at times as well.
