Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
James 4:10
When we have a big or not so big accomplishment, we feel pretty good about ourselves. We like to think we did it and we are rewarded because we did it.
However, we do nothing without God's help. God has a hand in everything we do and everything we accomplish. Sometimes, we are blinded by praise we receive from people and forget to thank people who helped us and God for His help.
Being humble means that we are not glory hogs, but readily admit that all we accomplish is because God set things in motion and sent the right people to help us at the right time and thank those people and God for His blessing of our work.
So, when things go right, proclaim your reliance on God and thank Him for blessing your efforts.
