OVERCOMING PRIDE WITH A SIMPLE TRICK

This thing called pride has killed a lot of dreams, brought down potentially great men and even made a lot to pass through unnecessary difficulties in life which could've been avoided. Most people who have had this attitude have testified how difficult life had been for them because of Pride. This same pride has caused a lot of divorce, destruction of relationships and has also been an obstruction to certain favors in life.

Pride is this kind of feeling of having or possessing the best of anything any man could have. This could be either physical possessions or non-material things. It is basically this feeling of satisfaction in one's achievements and accomplishments usually seen as superior to all others.

If have a friend who has this kind of attitude, you'll notice that they always feel like they know everything and wouldn't budge to any of your suggestions. They feel they're always right. To an extreme extent, they tend to challenge people who are above them ie. their teachers, bosses at work place etc.

It's not surprising that Ezra Taft Benson puts it this way;

“The proud wish God would agree with them. They are not interested in changing their opinions to agree with God's.” ― Ezra Taft Benson

If ever you've been told or have noticed that you possess this kind of attitude, there's a way you can walk out of it with ease and save yourself and your future. This is because, as far as I know, no one I've met likes a someone with a lot of pride.

The surest solution I suggest you consider is to replace this attitude with gratitude. If you really want to get rid of pride, start by being grateful for every of your little achievements in life. When you make good money at the end of the month, tell yourself 'I could do it because God gave me life and Strength.' Repeat this statement when you acquire a property for yourself, even when you think you know more than anyone at a time, say to yourself, 'I know it because God gave me life and strength'.

The surest way to get out of this attitude is to replace your self invoked sense of accomplishment and achievement over everyone with gratitude and trust me, you'll get out of it with ease.

Thanks
