Being ourselves

"To be truly humble is to accept and honestly try to be ourselves."
Basic Text p. 35

Humility is a puzzling concept. We know a lot about humiliation, but
humility is a new idea. It sounds suspiciously like groveling, bowing,
and scraping. But that's not what humility is at all. True humility
is, simply, acceptance of who we are.

By the time we reach a step that uses the word "humbly" we have
already started to put this principle into practice. The Fourth Step
gives us an opportunity to examine who we really are, and the Fifth
Step helps us accept that knowledge.

The practice of humility involves accepting our true nature, honestly
being ourselves. We don't have to grovel or abase ourselves, nor must
we try to appear smarter, wealthier, or happier than we really are.
Humility simply means we drop all pretense and live as honestly as we
can.

Just for today: I will allow knowledge of my true nature to guide my
actions. Today, I will face the world as myself.
pg. 346
