Ok I admit it;You're better than me.

The bible says to think of others as better than yourself. When I read that I really had a "wow" moment. How often are we taught to think of others as better than ourselves. We all are given our special talents and we do often acknowledge that there will always be someone better at it than us, but how often do we 'accept' it.
I feel that as the human race we create a habit of becoming angry when someone speaks out on how much better they are than you at something. Instead, I now realize that we should show the exact opposite emotion. We should smile and say "yes, you are better at that than me. Do you have any tips on how I can get up to your level."
Now I know from personal experience that this is way easier to think about saying than to actually say. But I feel that once I have this thought sitting in my head for a while, I won't be to 'proud' to say it.
If I walk around with my head held high, with the attitude that I am 'perfect' at everything that I do, then God may see no room to make improvements in me. Like I said before I really need to humble myself before people. I feel that no other character trait can top humility.
When I look at what is considered humble, I see it as something that should be sooo easy to master. But when the time comes it seems sooo hard to actually pull through. I guess thats where pride comes in. But I can overcome that, pride is just a word that we have taken a pump to and blown up with air. With much prayer I know that I can pop it. Humility is more than just a word. It is the source to many of my blessings.
