Keep a good attitude. Your attitude is key to walking in humility. Remember the Psalmist prayed, "God create in me a clean heart and renew in me a right spirit (attitude.) Ps. 51:10. Pride can't easily sneak up on you when you maintain a good attitude. A good attitude even positions you for God's promotion.

Cultivate a grateful heart. Have you noticed it's impossible to be prideful in the midst of gratefulness? Self-centeredness usually walks with pride. Gratefulness turns the attention away from yourself and gives it to the person you are grateful to. Be thankful to God and grow in humility.

Practice humility. Don't be a perfectionist. The fact that everything has to be perfect is a signal of false humility even pride. Parents, there's nothing wrong with having high standards for your children. But every now and then apply some grace to your child's mistake.

Remember you made some too; may be even the same ones. Another good practice to cultivate humility is: I know you are leader and leading well. But every now and then acknowledge there's some one else that God could use just as well. Admit that even you can be replaced.
