PRIDE
“The books I have not written are better than the books other people have.”
~ Cyril V. Connolly
At times, I still grapple with pride, vanity, and conceit. Thanks to God and my spiritual program, I am not as preoccupied with self, but pride is still an obstacle sometimes because it keeps me isolated from others. It emphasizes the difference between me and the world, rather than the commonality. Pride keeps me a prisoner of ego and stops me from being grateful because it keeps me focused on what I am doing. In the process, I miss the beauty and splendor of my life. Pride keeps my nose pushed against the picture so I cannot see the portrait!
I can only change my prideful attitude by talking about it. The way for me to grow is to “dump it”—and do it today.
May I find myself in the people I meet and with whom I share.
