HAVE I TOLD YOU TODAY THAT I LOVE YOU #16





PRIDE & HUMILITY

Pride and humility, when misplaced and/or excessive, are undesirable and to be avoided.  But when appropriate, they reflect strength of character and self-assurance.

Be proud of who you are.  Be proud of  your gifts, and your dreams.  To claim your destiny and pursue your dreams, unafraid and trusting, is an act worthy of pride.  Pride in yourself, as a creation of God, and the souls that have gone before you is an act of worship.

Paradoxically, acknowledging the source of your gifts is an act of humility.

It is proper to be proud of your commitment and your efforts to become all that you could be, just as it is proper to acknowledge that many of the resources you possess to make this journey possible were gifts to you.  Be proud of your accomplishments and humbled by what has been given to you.
