Humility Is the New Successful Most of us think we're humble-we don't brag about our success to people with less, spout our opinions like they're the G.O.A.T., or judge people by a standard even we don't meet. Every corner of pop culture, from movies and news to podcasts and memes, tells us we're awesome. To get what you want, simply love yourself, improve yourself, and "do you." After all, if you're on a plane and the pressure drops, put your oxygen mask on first before helping the person next to you. Except we spend our whole lives putting on our mask, decorating it, and taking selfies. Self-care becomes self-obsession. We put others last and ourselves first, all while assuming our hearts are in the right place. In The Humility Paradox, professional photographer and entrepreneur Jessica Bellinger challenges the pervasive assumption that most of us don't have a pride problem, reveals how self-sabotage masquerades as self-interest, and reintroduces humility as a daily practice to unlock our heart's desires. As Jessica discovered in her own life, ego leaves us complacent thinking we have it all figured out. She realized pride is a ceiling that halts growth, achievement, and even happiness. But by getting real about her shortcomings, questioning deeply held beliefs, and adopting a student mindset in all areas, Jessica broke through her own perceived limits. As a serial entrepreneur, wife, and mother of three, she is able to be more present so she can both enrich and enjoy every relationship. The Humility Paradox inspires and equips us to transform the way we view ourselves and others by embracing humility. Jessica exposes the hidden costs of pride and dismantles the common but wrong assumption that pride is "not a problem for me." When we filter our thoughts, feelings, and actions through humility, the result always brings peace of mind, which ego never can. ¿Humility is the secret to sustainable success and lasting joy. So choose it-it's easier than we think.
