Do you Brag or are you too Humble?

I think I can safely say most people are too humble. I have met countless people that have an astonishing amount of skills, do charity work, accomplished physicians who work in free clinics. I have also heard far too many people, mostly children talk about how great they are.

Go to any Anthony Robbins seminar and I will bet, you will meet at least 1000 life coaches. Most of them are under the age of 18. What are you going to teach me? If you are a male under the age of 18 you probably can teach me 50 ways to masturbate. But I dont really think you have a lot of life experience.

So I am going to assume I am speaking to the large majority who just dont “get” who they are. Sorry to be prejudiced, but many cultures teach humility. My parents never gave a complement they thought it was crude and obnoxious.

Last night we had a billionaire fly in from Russia and his girlfriend from California to be treated by us, hmmm. Maybe I am not claiming who we are in this world with people flying in from China, Korean, royals from the Middle East. But this is not about me.

What about you? I have a friend that creates content and is all over performing and doing great work and sharing it and she just doesnt see it or say it. Truth be told, everyone has spent their time learning something. You might just be the best video game player. That might not interest you or me. But you did spend your time learning something. Again might be the words of every Star Trek episode, but you are an expert in something.

I would also try to face the truth about your upbringing. If your parents spent every day telling you how great you are, you might not have spent any time getting great. Conversely if you come from a humble culture, and you know who you really are, speak up. The world is dying to get to know you and appreciate you Dont deny us the opportunity of learning from you.

PS you know who you are. Whether you are team modest or team braggers. Whichever team you are on uplevel or be a little more quiet please. The rest of us cant see while being blinded by your false light.
