WEDNESDAY CHIP---PRIDE/HUMILITY
"If you're all wrapped up in yourself, you're overdressed."
This is the chip I pulled for today and I'm feeling kinda
iffy about it. Most everyone has heard of the quote,
"pride cometh before a fall"..... This can be true, but
there are many exceptions, especially if I balance
pride and humility.
If I am a confident person I have both pride and humility,
but they're in balance not conflict. Self-confidence is my
ability to feel comfortable tackling difficult and new tasks or
problems. But to arrive at that feeling I have to of had
accomplishments, hence Pride. But I also had to have learned
to deal with mistakes and limits, hence Humility. Seems to me,
the two are complementary not opposites.
Ultimately, my Higher Power (God to me) gets to take credit!
I believe that it's the excessive pride or even overblown
humility is where the problems begin.
So for today I guess I must be feeling both sides of this
chip. I have pride in my actions and accomplishments today,
but I am humbled by the knowledge that they is always more
I could do. BALANCE IS THE KEY......
Hugs, SunnyGirl
