What keeps you humble ? For me I would say it was the way I was raised and also I despise the behavior of people with inflated egos.

What keeps you humble ?

Being the best person ever, I find no reason to be humble...
... joking aside, probably seeing better people around me and inspiring me

i'm not humble either i'm (h)umble.
Whenever i used to go to church with my parents i always loved to here people there say humble. the H is always silent. CLASSIC
I'm with lbanks on this. Whenever I get to thinking a little too highly of myself something in life comes along to remind me I'm not as great as I was just thinking I was.
Every day I interact with a person (sometimes several people) who is/are superior to me in some way, whether it's intelligence, music ability, kindness or whatever ..... 
My God humbles me, certainly.
Additionally, knowing and seeing others less "fortunate" than me humbles me to know that life has never been promised to be easy, tomorrow has never been promised, and that I should love and serve generously. I am humbled everyday when I realize how truly difficult this is to live out. It is very hard to consider others more important than yourself.

The fact that the more I learn and grow, the more I realize how little I know.
I think inexperience (age and otherwise) and ignorance breeds arrogance and delusions of superiority.

The higher you climb the flagpole of life, the more exposed your ass is for people to take shots at
