Ep. 86 - Cultivating Self-Awareness and Embracing Vulnerability While Navigating Modern Life with Humble the Poet

Humble is back in the studio to brainstorm with Ruben about how we can create and amplify a culture of love through the discomfort, fear, and difficulty of life. He shares wisdom on how to stop taking the easy road (because it doesn’t get you anywhere), reverse your limiting beliefs, and get out of a scarcity mindset and into a LOVE mindset. 

Humble joins Ruben to remind you to be aware that chasing convenience and easiness will not lead to growth. Leaning into the discomfort and difficulty of life will unlock your potential, your ability to evolve, and a higher sense of self-respect.

Are you choosing to be held hostage by fears and imaginary situations that may or may not happen? It’s time to commit to your mission, share your talents and gifts, and do what you can to amplify this culture of love we’re creating. This life isn’t a dress rehearsal. There’s no do overs. 

How does Humble live through Love? "Living a life of letting go of all that extra weight, baggage that you are aware of, and then doing the work to discover all the additional thousand pounds of baggage that's not aware of.” - Humble

“This isn’t an infomercial to sell a dream or an idea. It’s reconciling ideas that we might have lost because we live in such a fast-paced, distracting world that does not incentivize this type of living.” –Humble
