There is a middle place we are looking for when it comes to humility. We want to be able to acknowledge the work we have done and progress we have made with out over doing it. We also want to not dismiss and denigrate the work we are doing.
Today I tapped to find that middle ground.
Let me know how this worked for you.
I love and accept myself…I love and appreciate myself…Even when it’s hard for me to love and accept myself…I love and accept myself anyway…I’m happy with what I’ve achieved…I’ve worked very hard to achieve what I’ve achieved… And sometimes, it’s easy to get wrapped up in my own achievement…Failing to recognize all that had a hand in that…I’m not trying to hide my achievement…I’m not trying to say my achievement isn’t worthy…It’s good that I recognize my achievement now and how hard I’ve worked…But I’m just looking for that middle ground…I’m looking for that space…Where I recognize my work…And I recognize whose shoulders I stand upon…I recognize the power of inspiration in my work…All of those unseen forces behind the scenes that are setting me up for success…Humility does not mean self-deprecation… Being humble does not mean I ignore my work…I’m just simply trying to find the middle ground…Where I recognize my work and my achievement…I give credit to those around me who have helped…Because when I give credit, it makes it easier for me to access that help in the future…
This was good for me. It not only helped me to acknowledge that I am doing good work, and that part of that is due to others, but it also helped to check my ego about things that may not be going that well. There are inter dependencies in both cases.
