Your Worth with Humility by Adeline Atlas
May 21, 2025
Welcome back to School of Soul. I'm Adeline Atlas, an seven published author.
Today, we’re diving into the powerful affirmation: "YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH. ACTUALLY, YOU ARE PROBABLY OVERQUALIFIED. BUT, LET'S START THIS WEEK OFF HUMBLE." Let's explore how recognizing your worth, while embracing humility, can set the tone for a transformative week.
Embracing Your Worth with Humility
Recognizing Your Worth
Understanding and embracing your worth is crucial for personal and professional growth. It’s easy to underestimate yourself, especially when faced with new challenges or unfamiliar situations. However, it’s important to remind yourself that you are good enough and, in many cases, probably overqualified. This recognition is not about arrogance but about acknowledging the skills, experiences, and strengths you bring to the table.
Many of us struggle with imposter syndrome, the feeling that we are not as competent as others perceive us to be. This can hold us back from pursuing opportunities or fully embracing our potential. By affirming that you are good enough and likely overqualified, you counteract these limiting beliefs and empower yourself to take bold steps forward.
Recognizing your worth involves a deep understanding of your abilities and contributions. It's about looking at your past achievements and understanding the hard work and talent that made them possible. Each success, no matter how small, is a testament to your capabilities. By reflecting on these successes, you build a reservoir of confidence that can be drawn upon when self-doubt creeps in.
To fully embrace your worth, you need to take stock of your unique skills and experiences. This involves creating a detailed inventory of your strengths and how they can be applied in various situations. This exercise not only boosts your confidence but also helps you articulate your value to others, whether in job interviews, networking events, or personal interactions.
The Power of Humility
While recognizing your worth is essential, coupling it with humility creates a powerful balance. Humility is not about undervaluing yourself but about maintaining a sense of gratitude and openness to learning. It’s understanding that, regardless of your qualifications, there is always room for growth and improvement.
Humility involves acknowledging that you don't have all the answers and being willing to seek out knowledge and advice from others. It’s about appreciating the strengths and contributions of those around you and understanding that collective efforts often lead to greater achievements than individual ones.
Starting the week off humble means approaching each day with a learner’s mindset. It’s about being open to feedback, willing to admit mistakes, and eager to collaborate with others. This humility fosters stronger relationships, promotes continuous learning, and enhances your ability to adapt and grow.
Humility also involves recognizing the role of luck and external factors in your success. By acknowledging that not all your achievements are solely due to your efforts, you remain grounded and avoid the pitfalls of arrogance. This perspective helps you stay connected to others and fosters a sense of community and mutual respect.
Balancing Confidence and Humility
Striking the right balance between confidence and humility can be challenging but immensely rewarding. Confidence without humility can come across as arrogance, while humility without confidence can lead to self-doubt. By integrating both, you create a well-rounded approach to your personal and professional life.
Confidence empowers you to take risks and seize opportunities, while humility keeps you grounded and receptive to new insights. Together, they enable you to navigate challenges with resilience and grace. This balance is crucial in leadership roles, where the ability to inspire others must be paired with the humility to listen and learn from your team.
In practical terms, balancing confidence and humility involves setting realistic goals and celebrating achievements while remaining open to feedback and continuous improvement. It means asserting your ideas and opinions with conviction but also being willing to change your stance in the face of new evidence or better arguments.
Exercise: Embracing Worth and Humility
Affirm Your Worth: Start each day with affirmations that reinforce your worth. Say to yourself, "I am good enough," and "I have valuable skills and experiences." Let these affirmations set a positive tone for your day.
Practice Gratitude: Keep a gratitude journal where you write down three things you are grateful for each day. This practice helps you stay humble and appreciative of your journey.
Seek Feedback: Actively seek feedback from colleagues, mentors, or friends. Use their insights to improve and grow. Embrace constructive criticism as an opportunity to learn.
Set Humble Goals: Set achievable, humble goals for the week. Focus on incremental improvements rather than perfection. Celebrate small victories and learn from any setbacks.
Real-Life Application: In my own journey, I’ve learned the importance of balancing confidence with humility. Early in my career, I often doubted my abilities and hesitated to take on new challenges. However, by affirming my worth and coupling it with a humble attitude, I transformed my approach. I started seeking feedback, embracing learning opportunities, and celebrating small wins. This shift not only boosted my confidence but also made me more adaptable and resilient.
For example, when I published my first book, I was plagued with self-doubt. However, by affirming my skills and remaining open to feedback, I not only improved my writing but also built stronger connections with my readers. This experience taught me that acknowledging your worth, while staying humble, is a powerful recipe for success.
Embracing your worth while maintaining humility is a transformative practice. It empowers you to recognize your potential, take on new challenges, and continuously grow. Remember, you are good enough—probably overqualified—but let’s start this week off humble and open to the endless possibilities ahead.
By integrating confidence with humility, you create a foundation for sustained growth and meaningful achievements. This balanced approach not only enhances your personal and professional life but also inspires and positively impacts those around you. Embrace your worth, stay humble, and watch as new opportunities and successes unfold.
