Humility isn't weakness or self-hatred. It's seeing yourself through God's eyes: recognizing his perfection without pride, and acknowledging your gifts without despising them. Meekness and humility are different things.
Meekness is not weakness. I would define humility by saying that humility isn't self-hatred or self-degradation. Humility is the proper perspective of oneself in reference to God. In other words, if I see myself through the Lord's eyes, I'm not gonna become so puffed up because He's perfect. Neither am I going to be self-hating because He loves me. True godly humility isn't the denial that you have gifts. It's not the denying of your good qualities. It's simply to see ourselves in proper perspective, seeing ourselves through God's eyes.
