Humility Is A Prerequisite For Spiritual Growth: Here’s Why

During my short time on this planet, I’ve experienced quite a lot. I’ve traveled the world for many years, and I’ve become increasingly involved in the ancestral medicine space in South America.

I believe I have a strong grip on spirituality and can guide others in their processes, and you know what?

This is part of the problem.

What I’ve come to realize is that it doesn’t take much for my ego to get involved, especially when diving into spirituality. I’ll admit. At times I can be arrogant, or ignorant. There will be times when I speak from a place of pompousness rather than authenticity.

Of course, I’m trying to find a healthy balance, but I’m only human after all.

One of the biggest lessons of my life right now is to not only learn the importance of humility but to genuinely be a more humble person. Believe it or not, it’s very tricky.

A reocurring pattern I’ve recently caught onto is that every time I get a little too head-full, the universe gives me a cosmic slap in the face. The funny thing is that it seems to happen like clockwork, and the fall from the podium can be rough.

As a result of getting a little too caught in my ego, I’ll lose beautiful partners or incredible jobs. When I think my business is taking off and I become overly proud of myself, it will instantly drop off a cliff. I’ll be back to square one as if the universe itself is teaching me…
