Modesty generally refers to being without conceit or arrogance and displays an
unassuming behavior. It is typically marked by a humble attitude and a desire to show
kindness towards others. You can become more modest by having a realistic
impression of yourself, being open to constructive criticism for self-improvement,
resisting the urge to brag on yourself, accepting compliments gracefully, striving for
selflessness and using positive language.
A healthy, realistic impression of yourself, begins with how you see yourself and how
others may see you. Acknowledge your good qualities and your positive
accomplishments, but don't let these things inflate your ego.
A modest person is defined by his or her humility. You may need advice and guidance
from others, and constructive criticism should be sought to further improve ourselves.
Live modestly and accept the fact that you do not know everything about yourself.
Modest people do not brag about their wealth or accomplishments, and they don't let
these things define them. Also, a modest person does let compliments go to their head.
You can accept a compliment graciously, but you should not let it feed into your ego or
make you think that you're better than others.
A modest person is considerate of other and puts the needs of others ahead of his or
her own needs, and a modest person should strive to use positive language and be a
role model to others.
Maintaining these traits in modesty will assist with building positive relationships in all
aspects of daily life.
