The Right Kind of Pride
Pride is deadly. The saying that pride comes before a fall is absolutely true. (that saying comes as a paraphrase from a scripture). The more full of ourselves we get, the larger then fall we're setting ourselves up for.
But there is reasons to have some pride. It just has to be the right kind.
Take pride in your work.
Take pride in anything good you've done.
Take pride in being a peacemaker.
Take pride in the part you've played in others accomplishments.
Those are the places where pride is done right.
The funny thing about pride done right, it's pretty much always silent. It's not a boisterous pride. It's a quiet pride where you know you've done a good job and you really don't need anyone else to notice or praise you.
