Glad I talked about it yesterday. Was so pleasantly humiliated. Really. I found out how much of an ass I was. How much of a consequence my undirected life has led to.
Who cares about pride, leadership or accomplishment. None of them will be possible without humility. With humility comes a whole host of good stuff like identity, security, self confidence (Seek ye first the kingdom of God eh?). While ambition pulls me up, pride pulls me down.
And i think it's a good time to practice the "7th habit" now: Sharpening the saw. The story goes...
A man was cutting trees in the forest for a really long time. Another guy sees him and suggests taking a break to sharpen the saw. But the first guy retorts: "Can't you see that I am busy trying to saw this tree? I have no time to waste!" Do you think stopping to sharpen is a good idea? Well yes, and I'll give it a go.
If pride is gonna weigh me down. I need to act fast to swallow and digest it. Positivity under certain conditions becomes a poison. Now I am beginning to realize that positivity in a climate of arrogance breeds tragedy. First things first.
Thank you for inspiring me once more. It really came so unexpectedly. You know what? Praise God =)
