Humility

I have always been under the impression that humility meant not having pride in yourself. 

This results in relying on others to tell them how proud they are of you or how great something is that you have done. 

The reality I'm struggling with now is that humility is actually having great pride in yourself, but not needing to advertise that pride. Relying on self to find joy and bliss without needing to have another give these gifts to you. 

I'm not sure how I have had these backwards all these years, but it cuts to the core of many issues including codependency issues.
