Imagine having an ego boost, but seeing it not as a personal victory, nor as a victory for some in-group, but as a victory for all of humanity or even all beings, but over something tiny and personal like opening this jar of pickles was is a victory for the universe
I can't remember where I saw it (it might have been from some C. S. Lewis piece) but I once saw a description of what humility was like: feeling just as happy about someone else's achievement as if you'd done it yourself. the complete absence, you might say, of envy or jealous or secret grumbling about how you wish you'd gotten there first.
and I think that another aspect of humility is that the tiny achievements are worth every bit as much as the massive ones. yes, it's amazing that you got the pickle-jar open. it's not always easy to get the pickle-jar open.
