Halloween is a season of costumes, masks, and playing dress-up, but what about the roles we “wear” in real life? Sometimes we hide behind humility to avoid standing out, and other times we let pride take the spotlight to prove ourselves. Finding the balance between the two can be a very tricky task. However, in this episode, we explain how to find the sweet spot between humility and pride in your everyday life. We cover what the extremes of humility and pride can look like, why the balance between the two is important in your life, and how to find that balance in both your everyday life and in your Halloween costumes. Whether you are trying to find ways to stand out more or trying to seem less self-centered to others, this episode will help you shine without overshadowing others.
