I thought I was a humble person. Then, recently, I just realized how un-humble I was being. It was rather humiliating. Doing the self-work in a trusted space is truly life changing. Appreciate your words here, Anton🙏🏼

This was compelling. It’s true we can’t always see our own shadows. This post provokes the reader to do an audit—at least, I did, while listening to the audio. My first thought was, “Oh, I know I’m annoying.” But it’s not just that; I’m forthright and confrontational at turns, then people-pleasing and deferential, depending on who I’m with. I know I clip people’s sentences; I resolve to stop but I don’t do a good enough job. I know my face is asymmetrical - no one’s going to tell me this, probably because it’s something I can’t change. Do we do a service pointing out someone’s tragic flaw?
