"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time"

The verse before speaks about God resists the proud. I think one key motivation of staying humble is to please God. Fear and love for God are best way to keep us from being in the wrond state of over-estimating ourselves.

How can I stay humble? I remember CS Lewis once said that a proud man could not look up to God cos he is busy looking down at others. Like wise, if i keep my vision up towards God, i can't look down at others. I think knowing the place of God and our own position will help.
