Truly all three are coming from within us, as we alone are creating our emotions by the thoughts we choose to consume our brain. Essentially, we are choosing all three of these emotions based on the beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, and the world around us, and how we feel we fit into them. These reactions have shaped how you define humble, humility, and shame within your life.
But, how then does society come into all of this? When we filter our life looking at how we assume others feel about us, we are creating that opinion through those very filters of beliefs that I mentioned being formed at childhood. If you were accused of being a braggart for being proud of yourself, you will constantly down-play your achievements, and be looking at how others are reacting to you to see if their reactions, in any way, reflect back to the reactions you received as a child by the person who told you you were bragging.
For so many of us, we are hard wired to the belief that our minds are who we are. Yet, in all of my spiritual studies, the mind is merely an amazing tool that is intended to be serving as a reflection of our soul. Yet, for so many of us, in different areas of our lives, these past beliefs that require re-wiring have formed such a habitual pattern of thinking and perception, that we simply think of them as truth.
I want you to reflect back on a time where you felt humiliation, or shame, and ask yourself what you did that created those emotions. Practically, living in a sin-cursed body in a sin-cursed world, every trial is a given. Trouble in various forms is to be expected.

If not, he is to use the situation for growth in Christlikeness. He asks: What is my goal in this situation? Fourth, he is comforted by the fact that God is always in the situation, up to something, and up to something good now and eternally. How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

We know that the best way to teach is through modeling, and that means we need to exhibit humility.
So then, how do we overcome the trap of arrogance and display humility to our students, spouses, kids, and everyone else for that matter? Well, just like learning to extend grace , demonstrating humility will take a conscious effort. Humiliation by definition is painful. Humiliation means to abase or shame someone. Our little kiddos bring a lot of baggage to school with them, and some of it could include humiliation from parents, adults, and kids alike.
The last thing they need is more humiliation from an adult who promised to watch out for them. Once our words are spoken, they can never be taken back, and for that reason alone, we need to be conscious of ways we might be humiliating our students. In complete contrast, learning humility and expressing it is a choice, not a reaction.
