Humility enables us to look at what joins us rather than what sets us apart – our common humanity, wounds, longings. Instead of pursuing bleak self-interest we foster connection. Without humility we are at the mercy of our egos. We worry about success, status and what we don’t have. There is a technique for spotting when you’re in egoistic thinking with five bad habits that all begin handily with the letter C: Comparing, Criticising, Complaining, Controlling, Competing. These thoughts are defence mechanisms, only they don’t work. They rob us of peace of mind, and each time we pick up one of these toxic Cs we cloud our minds and outlook.
