Yes, I can see where you are coming from. Great that you are finally shining your light and stepped into being more of who you are:-) Well done! So now you tell us - what else is possible for you? How does it get better than this? I too have wondered if my perceived humility in the past was in fact masking lack of self-esteem and self-worth. The more I reflect on this, I am sure it was just that! So the question I keep asking myself is - what will it take for more of me to show up?! Watch this space... And by the way, to get your image showing up on here, please go and upload an image at http://www.gravatar.com Thanks Balbir for both your comments.

I was going on to say that I have stepped in to being more of who I truly am. The result has not been cockiness or arrogance but me being more real (congruent), able to connect with more people (who I previously thought out of my league) and to share what and how I do what I do to have an impact on generating lasting change. And how does it get any better than this? And what else is possible? :-) Finished!! To continue…after pressing the wrong button (and how do I get my photo on here?)

I think, at times, low self-esteem and self-worth can be mistaken as humbleness. I speak for myself when in the past others have been able to see what I was capable of and indeed, the greatness I was doing but I couldn't recognize it as such because my own self worth wasn't quite there! I was acting humble and not appreciating my contribution to the world. After much soul searching and clearing old patterns I have stepped into the To me, I was just being me Interesting blog Arvind!

And thanks for your kind feedback - I am so glad my insights are of value to you and others. You write so well and you have so much to offer - the world needs you to stop holding back and get your voice out there. You do already have enough expertise to write an ebook for your blog - please just do it! If you like, we can have a separate conversation about generating ideas for your ebook:-) Good luck!

It really spoke to me! What will it take for more of me to show up! I love the idea, I love knowing that in this human form we can be so dynamic! When you really do think about it, most of the time we don't paint using all our colours! Thanks for those 2 questions, I will be using them to check in with myself!

It was something that I needed to hear in the last couple of days. I was brought up with the idea of being humble. It was not exactly a cultural thing, just a characteristic trait in my family. Sometimes I find myself holding back and not doing something that I need to. For example, I know that I want to write an ebook for my blog but I keep putting it off because I do not believe that I have enough expertise to write it. Do I, really? Probably if I stop being too critical of myself then I will come up with a good idea for a book. Thank you again for this post Arvind. You have the best insights, as usual :-) I loved this post Arvind. It was something that I needed to hear in the last couple of days.

Personally if I had to be just one or the other, I would always choose to be humble. But I do like your vision of being a humble, charismatic prince:-) Let's all be humble, charsmatic princes and princesses! Eduard, it is really important to get the right balance.

I've been exploring a lot lately the concept of being confident and expressive, yet humble at the same time. Sort of a humble charismatic prince. Yet I find that most people just manage to be humble. Either that or arrogantly confident, which in the end projects insecurity. PS: I just found out I was born on the same day with Marianne Williamson. 41 years later :) Eduard This is an interesting topic.
