Commentary

It is easy to be humble when I play it small, but we are not living in these times to play small. We are living in these times to discover our own greatness.

Each one of us carries gifts within us. We are brilliant, divine, radiant, and gifted beings. And our role in these times is merely to cultivate and express those gifts. Whether it's the gift of music, the gift of loving others, the gift of being able to give others a sense of peace, or being able to express myself through writing, my job is to cultivate the gift.

But then, how do I keep my humility as the greatness within awakens?

One of the first steps is to become aware that when I use my gifts for humanity, there is always a feeling that there is a divine energy flowing through me, giving me more power than I would ever have on my own.

Humility can come when I have the awareness that I am an instrument of the divine, and this gift is a gift from the divine. Humility can come when I realize that I am not the only one who has these special gifts within me, but that every one of us is magical, radiant, and full of beautiful gifts to share with humanity.

I can also cultivate humility by letting go of my attachment to outcomes. Let me allow the divine to use my gifts. Let me let go of my ideas of how I want my gifts to be used, or how I want people to accept them or like them. Let me let go of people's opinions.

I don't have to have a plan for how to put that gift out there. My role is simply to connect with my soul, express the gifts, and surrender them to the divine energy of the universe.

Knowing that this gift is not mine; it is one that is destined to be used for the upliftment of humanity.

With humility, I am not attached to success or failure, appreciation or rejection. I just enjoy the joy I find from the pure expression of the magic that is within me, and I let go and recognize that the magic is coming from a supreme source.

All I have to do is let it flow. All I need to do is tend to my gifts daily and use them daily, and my destiny will unfold naturally.

I will find my own way to connect with the world in a meaningful way. I will discover the greatness, the magic within me, but also within every other living being on this earth.

With humility, I can express these gifts with ease, detachment, love, joy, and a spirit of service.
