Humility is The Central way to stay connected to reality. The latin root Humus i.e earth, ground[1]) refers to any organic matter that has reached a point of stability. Our mind skews reality toward ourselves....our own importance. This tendency causes us alot of pain and problems. We worry about our image, our future. We think of ourselves being more (narcisstic) or less (neurotic) We can't get ourselves out of our head. The world however is not limited to our self involved thoughts.
The Buddhists remind us "Our suffering is caused by our expectations"
Try practicing being in the moment. Notice how constant the inner chatter is keeping us feeling separate. Just be present. You can have serenity.
