  2. Trembling at the thought of sinning.
  3. Remembering Jesus Christ every minute.
  4. Consciously trying to keep every commandment of God.
  5. Faithfully fulfilling callings.
  6. Seeing all men as brothers, trying to serve them as best one can.
  7. Sacrificing our own pleasures and desires to the will of God.

Signs of not being humble:

  1. Getting angry.
  2. Criticizing or belittling others.
  3. Deliberately breaking the Commandments of God.
