class=\"wp-caption-text\">(c) Carl Studna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So, why in Western culture do we often carry the common misconception that we need to be heartless, self-serving and egocentric in order to be a successful and powerful leader? Perhaps we embody an unconscious fear that if we remain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/revealingyourluminessence\/2013\/03\/true-vulnerability-is-not-for-wimps\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\">open<\/a>, loving and compassionate, we\u2019ll also be crucified in one form or another? If we\u2019re too bold and visible, we\u2019ll be targets for scrutiny! Consequently, many choose the safety of mediocrity over living a bold, enriching life filled with risks and uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">How often do we carry traces of judgment when others take initiative or choose to lead a group? Envy might surface if we see someone we\u2019ve known for years, who has recently become successful, driving in their new luxury sedan. How seeded in the collective consciousness is the old adage, <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">\u201cmoney is the root of all evil\u201d<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Isn\u2019t it time that we fully embrace the blending and balance of living an empowered life, purpose-filled, inspired and successful while practicing deep humility? Take a moment right now and breathe in this vision. Your life is a most radiant, unique and powerful expression of Divine Mind, desiring in each moment to fully express, create, and be of service. The world has been waiting for your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carlstudna.com\/wp\/?page_id=419\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">gifts<\/a> that no one else can offer as brilliantly as you. With humility as your compass, all decisions are made for the good of the whole and all prosper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">True <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/viral-mehta\/humility-virtue_b_881912.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">humility<\/a> is grounded in knowing that we are all equal, and from this heart-centered awareness we fully honor each other as we navigate throughout our lives fulfilling our dreams and visions. From this purview<strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\">,<\/strong> our fears and judgments dissolve and we lead from our deepest convictions. We are innately powerful like the mighty winds and gentle as a tranquil forest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span>Be your boldest while maintaining your inherent humble wisdom and witness your life expand beyond your deepest imaginings.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Often, when we think of a humble person, a quiet, kind and selfless image comes to mind.
