Key 3: Humility
page 59 in the Starting Over Guide
Humility isn’t about shrinking. It’s about becoming grounded. In Starting Over, Humility is the work of clearing away pride, denial, and defensiveness so something new can be built. It’s like digging deep to lay a foundation. It’s hard, messy, and sometimes painful, but it’s where strength begins. Humility says, “I don’t have to do this alone, and I’m willing to grow.”
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”
— Matthew 5:5
