If I asked you to think of someone who was meek, would you picture some wimpy little guy who wore glasses. If you did you couldn't be further from the truth of what meekness truly is. For an individual to be meek he or she must first have some strength or power. The Bible states that Moses was the meekest man that lived during his time (Number 12:3). Yet here was a man who had been a prince of Egypt, led the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage, and was a prophet of God. Jesus described himself and meek and lowly of heart (Matthew 11:29). Yet he was deity in the flesh.
Secondly, that power or strength must under control and yielded to the direction of another. The Greek word translated "meek" is also used to describe domesticated, trained animals. Animals that have yield their strength to the direction of another. In Jesus was the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9), yet he yielded His will and strength to do the will of His Heavenly Father (John 4:34). When we realize that we are destitute without God and grieve over the sins that can separate us from God, we will yield our will and strength to the direction of God. We will do what He commands and not forge our own path. Christians sing the song:

O, the bitter pain of sorrow That a time could ever be,
When I proudly said to Jesus "All of self, and none of Thee,"

Yet He found me; I beheld Him bleeding on th'accursed tree,
And my wistful heart said faintly, "Some of self, and some of Thee,"

Day by day His tender mercy Healing, helping, full and free,
Bro't me lower while I whispered "Less of self, and more of Thee,"

Higher than the highest heavens, Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord, Thy love at last has conquered, "None of self, and all of Thee,"

Blessed are those who have there strength under control and yield it to the
will of God...
Blessed are the meek
