The world always feels so big, and that always makes us feel small and incapable.
As humans who feel like that, it's natural for us to become prideful, as a form of defence mechanism, for us to feel better, for us to feel able. No matter which, whether we feel lowly about ourselves, or keep ourselves with nose up high, it's really just not beneficial.
What should we do then? That's probably where humbleness can come in. Some may say that humbleness is for the proud, but not really. Humbleness which is to view ourselves truthfully without judgement, helps us to see our true worth. Being humble means that you only have this much to offer, but you can still make a difference as long as you put in effort.
As for a Christian, humbleness becomes so much more vital, a friend once told me that pride is the direct opposite of God, which is true. Whenever we have pride, we make ourselves bigger than God is in our lives, God has a plan for us, to help us reach our potential, and not letting God take control would mean to deviate from that plan.
