It has nothing to do with us. And everything to do with us. 🤍
One scroll through anyone’s Instagram and you already know exactly where their heart lives. Their body. Their brand. Their next big thing.
We were never taught to not perform. If anything, the last few years taught us to perform harder — just wrapped in the language of “reinvention” and “authenticity.”
But real humility? It’s quiet. It doesn’t need a caption. It just shows up and does the work — then lets it go.
This week I’m sitting with svadhyaya (self-study), karma yoga (selfless service), and ishvara pranidhana (surrender) — and what it actually costs to practice any of them in a world built to keep us watching ourselves.
55 has taught me something about ego I wish I’d known sooner. 👇
