I believe it’s because we don’t know what true humility looks like. The next time someone notices or congratulates you, don’t dismiss or downplay it. Say this instead.   Why It’s Okay to Be Successful with Jamie Kern Lima Before she started IT Cosmetics, Jamie Kern Lima was saving her tip money from waiting tables at Denny’s to buy fancy makeup. But just a few years ago, she sold her company for $1.2 billion!

Let’s unpack it with a few journaling questions: How do you normally respond to compliments? What does humility look like to you? How can you practice being grateful for everything God has done and is doing in your life?
