The world humility derives from the Latin word humilitas, which means "of the earth." To be humble is to be grounded in knowing who you are. It implies the responsibility to become what you were meant to become -- to grow, to reach, to fully bloom as high and strong and grand as you were created to. It is not honorable for a tree to wilt and shrink and disappear. It's not honorable for a woman to, either.
-- Glennon Doyle, Untamed, p. 286
