When we work hard and achieve goals, it is natural to feel good about ourselves and be prideful. On another aspect of pride (relationships, friendships) it’s not always a great thing. When you know you’re wrong when it comes to the people you love, pride should not be your choice of action.

Would you consider someone who doesn’t listen to someone because of their pride, even though they may be wrong, to be a good thing? I tend to have too much pride sometimes when it comes to my husband. I think it has helped our relationship over the years, but it’s not a good thing all the time. Example: In the past if he made me upset I’d want to call him but my pride wouldn’t let me. My pride made me believe he’d be there no matter what happened. This easily could have went the other way and we wouldn’t have been together right now if he didn’t fight for our relationship. Follow your heart and don’t be superciliousness knowing you can lose someone you love.

Another way of looking at this is how do you use your pride, to what end is it a source of false confidence, or a genuine sense of accomplishment. I take pride in my website, but by far I don’t think I’m the best blogger. I’m always willing to learn as much as I can from anyone.

There are two types of pride: arrogance and confidence. We have to be mindful to stay towards the confident side of pride because it can be the downfall of many great people.

  1. Your message has been received. Everything about this is so true. We have to humble ourselves. Loving the simplicity of your look.

  2. This is so true, but you are right…it is a really thin line between the confident side and the arrogance side. And you truly do not want this to backfire and you are percieved as arrogant and you were trying to display confidence. I am guilty of this and the ususal reponse is "who does she think she is" and that is my cue to turn it down a notch…LOL!
    Cute dress! That one is a keeper! Take good care of it so it can be part of your wardrobe for years to come. One day it may be a vintage piece and you can pass it down for your daughter to rock 🙂

  3. "Pride comes before the fall". That's bible. I should probably have more pride at times but I kno that noone is better than me and I'm better than noone either. I have seen pride cause many people to miss out on God's blessings. Stay humble and keep loving because nothing is stronger than love. Love wins every time <3

  4. You have no idea the positive impact you've had on my life! One day, when I find the right words, I am going to sit down and write it all out. For now, I just thought I'd drop a line to say that I know that you've touched many lives. Your blog shows people that you can be the complete package. Thank you for sharing yourself with us!
