I've always found just staring into the night sky as a very humbling experience. It reminds that I am a miniscule component in the rich tapestry of the universe.

knowing that no matter how good of a person i am or will ever be, that there was a moment when i was looking into the eyes of a killer and out of my hatred for him saw him within myself. it is a stain that can never be wiped away, and it is proof of my imperfect humanity.

My family and my loving girlfriend. At the end of the day, cliche as it is, no matter what I do or who I seem to be, they're always there for me and love and accept me. I forget the power of love sometimes.

My ignorance and my endless shortcomings humble me, especially in light of the infinite greatness and perfection of God and His creation.

Beauty in nature and the innocence of a child are two things that always make me feel large spiritually, but bring me back down to earth. Being in the presence of one who does not even recognize their own splendor is truly amazing!

I help take care of my 2 year old nephew. His father isn't in his life and it's only my sister and I. Every time he looks right at me and acknowledges my presence in his life I realize, "Holy cripes! There is so much more to life than the stupid things I worry about every day!" Also, when I have to change a daiper lol haha.

When I realize that things aren't always about me and there's always a bigger picture, a bigger world out there. The universe is huge and we're merely specs.

I only get an ego when it comes to intellect. I consider myself to be of a higher "brain power" and that causes me to become aloof and sometimes even condescending toward others.

But when I meet someone else with wisdom beyond my few years, it really shows me that there is still so much to know and reminds me that, relatively, I know hardly any more than the average Joe.
I've been getting progressively better at managing this ego issue, though. (I hope.)

I think "ego's" should lose the apostrophe in your question, as it is not a possessive. Aside from that, my ego gets blasted all the time because I'm an artist. People will tell me they are sick of the palette I'm using and I should change it, or tell me a landscape needs a figure, or that a figure should be in a different background, or that they don't get an abstract, etc. My ego only gets bloated when I see the opportunity to correct someone else's grammar or spelling!

Those rare acts of selfless human kindness. People banding together for no other reason but to help someone or something. The last time I remember feeling both moved and humbled, a community had come together to dig up a puppy that had somehow managed to crawl deep underground into a pipe. They tore up the whole street section and pavement, workers came in with machinery, and finally managed to rescue the pup.
