Episode description

Welcome back, Party People! In this heartfelt episode, "Be Humble, Sit Down and Journal," we dive deep into the essence of humility—a quality that truly shapes our character and our journey. Join us as our host shares a poignant personal story from a time when life was a struggle, illuminating the humble beginnings that many of us can relate to. From searching for spare change to afford basic necessities to helping others in need today, this episode is a powerful reminder of where we've come from and how far we've gone.

Our host recalls a tale possibly about Meryl Streep, where she links true success with humility, setting the stage for a reflective and introspective journaling session. This episode is not just about recounting our past; it's about recognizing the often overlooked grace, luck, and privilege that play roles in our lives. It’s an invitation to acknowledge these elements with gratitude and to understand that the people who truly excel are those who don’t need to boast about their achievements.

We’ve crafted five thought-provoking journal prompts designed to help you explore your own moments of humility, express gratitude for the small things that enrich your life, learn from others who exemplify humbleness, manage your ego, and envision your future self. Each prompt is followed by an interlude song to give you a moment to reflect and let your thoughts flow freely onto your journal pages.

Whether you're looking for a way to ground yourself, gain new perspectives, or simply enjoy a moment of peace through reflective writing, this episode is for you. By the end of our journey today, we aim to leave you feeling a deeper connection to the modest part of your soul, equipped with insights that encourage growth and wisdom.

So, grab your journal and get ready to explore the subtle yet profound power of being humble.

Journal Party what's up party people ? Today , as I was tidying up my workspace , I stumbled upon an old photo of a much rougher time .

This was a time when I remember looking for change in my couch cushions so I could afford something from the much cheaper grocery store in the roughest part of town and then trying to look really tough while walking through the roughest parts of town trying to get there and just thinking like how am I going to get out of this ?

And here I am , I'm out of it , much better off , and it almost feels like a dream . And just today I actually had the opportunity to help someone out of a similar situation and I was just thinking I couldn't even imagine being in a position to help back then . And I'm glad to be in this position now .

And I try to help when I can because you can't take the blessings in your life for granted . And sure , I worked really hard to get what I've got , but if I'm honest with myself , there was a whole lot of grace , luck , privilege , whatever you want to call it that it took to get from point A to point B , and there's no shame in that right .

I had a coach once relay a story about Meryl Streep and I hope it's true because it rings true to me . Supposedly , when asked about success , she said something like true success looks an awful lot like humility . Take that in for a sec . The people who really got it going on . They don't have to tell you about it , right ?
