The Humility Workbook: Part of the Circle Blueprint System

The Humility Workbook: Part of the Circle Blueprint System
By Jack Skeen, Greg Miller, and Aaron Hill

The Humility Workbook is one of four supplemental workbooks that are included in The Circle Blueprint System. The system also includes a book—The Circle Blueprint: Decoding the Conscious and Unconscious Factors that Determine Your Success, by Jack Skeen, Greg Miller, and Aaron Hill—and a confidential scientifically validated psychometric self-assessment. The self-assessment is free with purchase of The Circle Blueprint.

In The Circle Blueprint, the authors pinpoint four developmental areas that, once examined and mastered, can help you thrive. Each of these four areas—Independence, Power, Humility, and Purpose—make up your “Circle,” which the authors describe as a map of the choices you make every day. This particular workbook focuses on humility.

Here is how The Circle Blueprint System works:
1. Read The Circle Blueprint.
2. Take the assessment. You will receive a score on the “Thriving Scale.”
3. Depending on which areas the assessment shows you need to work on, go to the appropriate workbook. Based on your unique score, you’ll see exactly where to begin the exercises. At that point, you may do as much or as little as you wish.

Here is some information on humility:

Humility means having an accurate opinion of your talents, accomplishments, and limitations and keeping them in perspective.

Being humble is about being what is true and real about you. It’s about not pretending to be more than you are to impress others, and it’s also about not pretending to be less than you are. True humility means living between those two extremes—acknowledging the greatness inside of you while also being content to be ordinary.

It’s crucially important to master your humility. Those without humility are prone to being intolerant, narcissistic, or unaware of how they are perceived by others. A powerful and successful person lacking humility may fall into the hubris trap. On the other hand, if you possess humility without also possessing power and purpose, it leads to the false conclusion that you have nothing special to contribute in the world.

After you’ve taken your assessment and received The Humility Workbook, you may proceed at your own pace. You may do as much or as little of the exercises as you wish. However, the more exercises you complete, the closer you will become to creating a balanced, happy, thriving life. You deserve nothing less.
