“Though pride is not a virtue, it is the parent of many virtues.”
–M. C. Collins
I need to remember that “pride” is not necessarily a negative. It is
sensible to have a balanced pride in my sobriety because self-esteem
will grow from the pride and respect I give to myself. God has made
me and is involved with me and, therefore, I am a beautiful person.
Balanced pride helps me with my appearance, grooming and personal
etiquette that comes with clothes, fashion and hairstyles. Pride helps
me with my communication skills – I work hard at being understood,
speaking out clearly and developing better methods of being
understood.
Pride stops me from being taken advantage of, enabling me to say
“no” to others while still feeling good about myself. A healthy sense of
pride is essential for spiritual growth.
Lord, let me have a realistic appreciation of myself that leads to achievement.
