Don't Be Too Proud

by allinspiration.com

At some point or the other, in our lives, we are too proud to accept others' points of view. We are too proud to admit that we had made a mistake, that we make mistakes. We are too proud to learn from someone whom we believe is less capable than us.

It is good, necessary in fact, to have self-belief. But believing in yourself means recognizing your own value, your own abilities. It does not mean believing that you are perfect. The fact of the matter is, even the richest and most talented people on earth have something to learn from a beggar.

Having too much pride inhibits our ability to learn, restricts our outlook towards life, and it actually also damages our relationships with others. Nobody likes a proud person. Being too arrogant builds a false image of who we are, giving the fake impression that we are infallible. One day, when this image crumbles, and it will, people lose faith in us, and we lose faith in ourselves.
