“God needs our poverty not our abundance.”

• Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta 

  
  
  

The Means of Being Humble according to Mother Teresa:

Speak as little as possible about oneself.  

Take care of one’s personal matters. 

Avoid curiosity. 

Do not meddle in the affairs of others. 

Accept contradictions with good humour. 

Do not focus on the faults of others. 

Accept reproach even if undeserved. 

Yield to the will of others. 

Accept insults. 

Accept feeling uncared for, forgotten, despised. 

Be courteous and sensitive even if someone provokes you. 

Do not try to be admired and loved. 

Do not hide behind one’s own dignity. 

Yield in arguments even if you are right. 

Always choose what is most difficult.
