The problem comes in my attempt to apply this principle. It seems to stem from wanting to be able to examine myself and know just how holy I really am. But if humility is the best test for holiness, then the problem is that humility doesn't want to be examined. The moment I fix my eyes on humility it vanishes. So I am left to test for holiness by somehow measuring it, and I'm not sure how to do that without being a proud legalist. So maybe I don't really need to know how holy I am? Maybe I just need to fix my eyes on the Holy & Humble One?
