If you’re super goal-oriented, it can be hard to see the trees when the forest is so immense.

You're always so focused on the big picture, the little things get tossed to the wayside. When you discount the victories along the way, you make it almost impossible to celebrate the big wins!

And let me guess, you can’t take a compliment either. People express their awe and amazement at the mountains you’ve moved, and instead of kindly accepting it, you “humbly” shrug it off and make one lame excuse or other. Like, “anyone could have done it”, “it wasn’t as hard as it looks”, or “I had a lot of help.”

Ew. Just gross. Stop it.

No one thinks that’s cute. No one's buying that disingenuous humility bullshit. It’s not a hot-ticket item. It’s a wet, soggy, undesirable thing we need to take off the market.

When you downplay your success, you dishonor yourself and everyone else.

Here’s the Truth: you are a spectacular, unique being put here on Earth specifically for your specialness. The truly humble thing to do is accept this and live up to it. Move your sweet, sweet ego to the side and rock that shit. The collective “we” need you and what you have to offer. 

Seriously, look at how messed up and pain-filled the world is right now. I firmly believe it’s because people are not basking in and living their specialness. We’re either trying to be someone else or tearing the ones who are themselves down. 

Imagine if everyone stepped into their light and let it shine. What would the world look like then?

Listen to this episode to learn why celebrating everything — and I mean everything — is so important to authentic, joy-filled living.
