Don't fear humiliation

I wanted to share one my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite poets, David Whyte:

"There is a lovely root to the word humiliation - from the Latin word humus, meaning soil or ground. When we are humiliated, we are in effect returning to the ground of our being."

We need to stop being so afraid of being embarrassed or...god forbid...humiliated.  Allow yourself to celebrate your successes as well as to celebrate the times you return to your soil.

Let humiliation be less about your ego being embarrassed and more about your soul being grounded.

Live a little bigger today and, worst case scenario, you'll have an opportunity to get grounded.
