Being Humble Brainwashed Us

This is going to piss off a lot of Egos. haha

And you will learn so much by being the observer of that inner voice when it responds to any information. I invite you to step into that observer spot as you hear.

Here we go. 😊

I think the word "Humble" does more harm than good nowadays. This is crazy for me to be saying because I have had "Be Humble" posted in every living room I have ever had as an adult. It has been a mantra I have lived by my entire life and over the last year, I broke the brainwash.

We are told to be "humble." In other words, "don't be an arrogant asshole" right? But they are not the same.

By definition, humble means a low estimate of one's own importance or abilities.

Wait what?! Would you teach your daughter to lower her importance?

"Hey I am going to need you to lower your estimate of your abilities a bit, goals are too big, BE HUMBLE"

THAT IS TERRIBLE!

Somehow, being humble has been disguised as a good trait to have.

Yes, don't be an asshole, totally! 100% live with compassion and don't be a dick.

When you start to associate: embracing your strengths, appreciating your skills, TRUSTING your inner knowing with "being an arrogant asshole" you have a problem. Self-doubt will blossom and grow in that environment. Causing you to lower your beliefs in your own abilities and in your own worth. The relationship you have with yourself becomes an unhealthy one and this has been normalized.

You invalidate and downplay your own strengths. This is all done in the name of "being humble" because you have been taught that empowerment is bragging and bragging is bad, etc etc.

Toxic people keep their victims small. Easier to control, easier to manipulate, less conflict with someone just trying to belong. Brene Brown speaks a lot on the topic of wanting to belong. As humans, we naturally crave connection, and that is normal and healthy. When you want to belong, you are directly giving up want makes you an individual to "fit in." This causes you to lose who you are. It gets hard to decipher what wants and needs are even your own. Fitting in gives you worth right? FUCK NO. You have value for just existing my dear.

I am calling BULLSHIT on"Be Humble."

This brainwashing thought process leaves your potential on the table. The power you hold is magnified when you embrace it. The talent you have elevates as your practice and grow! The guidance you carrier becomes deeper with each passing lesson.

Give yourself permission to be EMPOWERED!

To attack problems head-on with all your strengths, talents, and abilities.

To dream BIGGER as you grow and develop your incredible power.

Being HUMBLE is a great way to make talented empathetic people-pleasers be smaller. You dim your light because... if you don't, you're an asshole.

Guess what? You are one talented MFer.

You are meant to be BRIGHT.

You are meant to be BIG.

You are meant to be TOO MUCH!

You are more powerful than you know. You have been playing it small for too long. When you play small you get small. It is time to BE BIG.

It is time to stand in your power.

I promise you, you can be Empowered AND be a compassionate kind person.

Think of the people you admire to that are empowered and kind.

Reminder: Don't allow other people's hatred for themselves to dim your light.
