Humility means we use our talents and capabilities While remaining focused on where they came from

Romans 12: 3.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly that he ought to think, but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

To have a humble mindset is to think soberly about oneself. This means that we don’t boast of our own accomplishments and abilities. Rather, we acknowledge that our sufficiency is of God in all of things.

2 Corinthians 3:5

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God

Nonetheless, this does not mean that we should neglect the gifts and the heavenly calling that God has given to us.

He has equipped us each with our own talents and gifts and bought us with the precious blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 1:18-20

18  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

God desires to be able to use us to His glory and for His purpose, and each of us should be aware of this. By bean a beacon of Gods light we will draw in those who are searching.

Humility requires us to use our talents and capabilities under God’s direction and leading, giving Him the honor and glory for what is accomplished in and through our lives.

1 Peter 4:10-11.

10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If any man speak, let him speak as an oracle of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

When we take the approach of Humility before pride we find it puts others at ease and it helps that Light of Christ shine brighter though our actions.
