I used to wonder if being humble was a genetic trait. If people were down-to-earth because they just had it in them. But arrogance and entitlement is so in-built within humans that it gets difficult to hide it, at times. Hence, when I was younger, I used to wonder how people make the active choice of staying humble despite the challenging situation that may befall them.
Years later, I understood that several times, the world, situations, unexpected events in your life forces and pushes you down on your knees. It softens and humbles you from within, that you shed every single ounce of entitlement you ever held dear. It breaks down arrogance into small little pieces and scatters them around. You realize what a small place you occupy in this world and you grow quieter, and occupy your space wisely. It's not a bad thing, really, that humbleness often is a byproduct of groundbreaking, soul-shaking experiences.
And after all this, I realized, that expressing a kinder and humble attitude to your surroundings is an active choice that most of us make because we soften from inside while growing up. We realize the world can be cold and harsh sometimes, and we need warmth and softness, which is so readily available - sometimes just by a smile.
