Humility is a wonderful thing to have. As a leader sometimes it's so hard to be humble. We have human nature that makes us think that we are always the ones who are in the right, when really we are blind to see that wrong is what we have dragged ourselves into. To be humble we need to be willing, and that is only the start. We need to be willing to listen, to step down for the moment, to be gentle. Some times it is so hard to have these certain qualities. As a leader we like to be on top, to take the stand, and to share our advice with others. If we did not like those things we would not be leaders. When we are humble we will be blessed, and so will others.

Philippians 2:5-11
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
