There can be a real tension between the healthy impulse of the heart to remain humble, and the ego’s struggle to claim more than it is. We see this when real master healers don’t even like to use the word “healer” for themselves, because they know the Divine is the healer, that it comes through them.
Yet, at the same time, people who really should know better claim super powers despite very little experience, just trying to sell something.
The challenge is that many heart-centered business owners fall on the “too humble” side, and this can be a real problem. It’s a subtle, but important point about claiming what you’ve been given.
Take a look:
Even if you have not yet attained mastery, are you claiming the expertise that you do have? What do you see in yourself? What difference could it make to your business if you did claim what you’ve been given?
With love,

thanks for this beautiful statment and encouragment
I felt the strength coming by owning the mastery…. So clear! This video came exactly at the right moment! This question is strongly coming up in me. Last months and weeks and days I have been contemplating this a lot. How to own my mastery while naturally feeling and wanting to be and needing to stay humble? I feel that the next step will be this….. To own it. To be it. To show it. After 33 years experience. After 22 years being business owner. After 14 years having an own school with satisfied and happy students. After having written and developed 4 years of education with all kinds of helpful and wonderful and special new theories and models and courses and training methods. And after finally having more and more financial succes and recognition of the field…. It is so obvious that there is so much mastery here, but in a way I cannot feel it inside…. I just feel a humble nothing. And if I see what I have accomplished it it is so tremendous. Absolutely tremendous. I cannot believe it is true that I did it, but it is. It is time to own what I have been given…. That realization is pushing trough now…. Something new for 2019! Thank you for the support!
Exactly what I needed to hear today. 2 years ago you encouraged me to do this explicitly for the people I know I’m here to serve. And it took a couple of years of dancing around it before I’m really beginning to step fully into it. It feels very vulnerable for some reason, and yet I know I have been “too humble “ for too long. It’s time. It’s scary. And I feel the strength and Possibility that surges within me as I do. Thank you for this really powerful message today. It’s a gift to me and to those I will serve.
Just last night I wrote in my journal that it is time for me to let go of my deep-seated need to ask permission. I have been teaching for over 30 years, and know more about what I want to provide than most of the people I would be asking. I am now making the commitment to act without asking permission, especially when it comes to my business and my dream. Trust my instincts, trust my knowledge. So this video was breathtakingly timely for me as well. I felt while watching it that I was leaning on a flow of strength and reassurance – thank you so much!!!
love the photo of the gentlemen in sujud. thank you.
What extremely valid points, there are so many snake oil sellers out there bigging up their talents on the strength of very little, when there are some really humble and sadly undervalued people too. Thank you for the affirmation that we just need to be a bit realistic and not sell ourselves short!
Modern LEDs are an ideal lighting option for boats primarily because of their huge efficiency advantage over incandescent bulbs. Whereas an incandescent bulb will produce around 15 lumens per watt, today’s LEDs produce on the order of 60 to 90 lumens per watt. To put it comparatively, a 50 watt halogen cabin light might produce on the order 750 lumens while a 12 watt LED light can produce 720 lumens. That is nearly the same overall lumen output produced using less than a quarter as much electrical power. If we assume a typical boat’s cabin space has around 7 halogen light fixtures, that’s 350 watts of power being used to produce 5,250 lumens of light. By switching out those 7 fixtures with LED lights, we use only 84 watts and produce 5,040 lumens. Just by switching those cabin lights with LEDs, we have drastically cut the power used for lighting by over ¾ without any real significant loss in lumen output. If ljusskyltar we consider all the other lighting onboard a boat such as engine room lights, deck lights, spotlights, spreader lights, cabin lights and all the rest, it becomes very apparent just how much power can be saved by switching to LEDs.
Thank you so much
