Let go of your pride!
Let go of your pride!
This piece will stand outside the standard life coaching tips or exercises, this will be something more personal and something that may sound like something very familiar to some of you.
But this piece will also be one of the ways how to get rid of it and embrace yourself in a good way, because you deserve it.
You can still be proud!
The pride we are talking about here is the need to show off to others, because you feel less than they are on the inside and this mostly has to do with things like youth trauma’s or even having someone close in the past who make you feel less then you are.
I will not tell you how to change it, but i will certainly and hopefully give you insights how you are to be able to use it in a positive way, but also how to let go of the i need to be higher to be better attitude with it as well.
Being proud and having pride are 2 different things,
This is not meant in the way to quote the dictionary, but to give you a sign that there is a difference and help you to split the negative from the positive.
Being pride is the fact that you do everything to be superior to others and also always trying to be on top of someone else.
Being proud is that you feel great that you could help a person to achieve something great or that you are connected to someone in a very good way that has achieved something legen… Wait for it…. DARY!
Pride is also self love
Pride can be used in 2 ways as well, now that we have split pride and proud, pride stays that darker side that needs to make you feel better than others.
It is good to have a competitive spirit, it is good wanting to improve and to get higher, it is even good that it makes you feel good if you achieve something!
But the downside comes when you are bragging about it or making the story bigger than it is, to impose on others, to make you feel more superior than they are.
A lot of people do it as well, even in my case i catch myself doing it sometimes.
At this point there is no shame that it also sometimes happen, as long as you notice and know that you do not need to respond that way.
That being honest and in a way showing your vulnerabilities and laugh about it or joke around with it, will bring more happiness not only to yourself, but also the others around you.
There is in the end only one person that needs to know what you have achieved and that is YOU! Or if you are applying for a job, your potential boss as well and this is the case of using pride in a good way.
Do not put yourself away!
Proud sounds like a very positive thing, but this also has a downside. It is when you keep being so proud about others as if you are not existing or showing that you are achieving nothing at all. As if you are feeling like a loser.
At this point, others have great achievements, but you also have them in your own way!
Some people influence millions, but you are the one who has influenced that person that could influence millions, aka the teacher of the famous teacher.
Be proud of those little things, because those little things do not only matter, they save lives and they bring forth great and positive things to a lot of people!
But it will also help you yourself as well!
Like anyone else, you are also a star and not a shadow!
No need to boast! But show yourself and be not afraid of it!

After thinking and possibly changing what you knew about proud and pride in your own way, You may notice that you are also able to listen better to other people and that conversations are going more smoothly and have become way more fun!
You are making new friends and start to respect more people and see them in a new daylight, it also gives you the feeling that people give you a better sense of home for yourself.
Also that you start feeling home with yourself, which is the most important part out of all of this!
The title of this text is let go of your pride!
The meaning behind it was letting go of that boasting nature, the one that you are forcing yourself to show to others how great you are. While you are already great on the inside!
I hope that you got something from it and you all will see me more often using words creatively, to give you ideas or a different understanding!
I hope that you all have a great day!
