Summary

People talk about humility like it’s a virtue, but most of what we call “humility” is really a costume. I grew up in a world where we’re told to dim our light so others don’t feel threatened, but that’s not real humility—that’s fear. Real humility is control, not pretending to be small. Fake humility is a performance people use to look safe or agreeable, and it keeps them from stepping into real power. In this episode, I break down the difference and explain why shrinking yourself will never get you the results you want. Show Notes: [03:52]#1 True humility has been hijacked. [17:31]#2 True humility is a form of control, not a form of denial. [25:30]#3 Power is not interested in pretending. [31:46] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2427: "You Think You're Better!"

1:07.7	dim your lights on purpose and call it humility as if this is some type of
1:13.0	accomplishment or a great thing that you are doing, even if you don't actually feel the
1:17.0	humility, is that you're supposed to just do this because you don't want to position yourself
1:21.3	or communicate in any way or put forth the energy that makes it seem as if you are better than others and you know that
1:30.3	you're better than others. Just being better than others is already a sin. But being better than others
1:35.0	and then letting others know that you know or you believe that you're better than other people,
1:39.5	that's when you have really gone off the deep end and that's when you really done something wrong.
