Why Is It Important to Stay Humble or Proud?
Most people think humility means recognising your flaws. Instead of humility, people who humble themselves for praise are proud. As an example: I'm not as good a cook as you, so I hope you like my food.
Some people constantly minimise and neglect their talents and qualities. This is not humility, but a severe lack of self-worth.
This article argues that humility opposes pride. Being humble is accepting our weakness, strengths, talents, abilities, and successes without feeling inferior or superior to others. Humility includes accepting compliments for our skills and kindness. Answers such as “It’s nothing at all, I have no merit, most people can do this…” demonstrate false humility.
The modest person acknowledges that others may not be as knowledgeable as they are and does not brag unless asked. She acknowledges that others make errors and forget. She does not utilise these blunders to make individuals feel inadequate unless they directly damage her life and create harm.
Instead of talking about our successes to gain compliments, let's keep our pride to ourselves to cultivate humility. Let's thank you internally while connecting with our spiritual guide.
The more we show humility by expressing our anxieties, forgetfulness, wrongs, forgiving, or appreciating others, the more others feel good around us and our relationships improve. improve. Each act of humility opens the heart and sparks heavenly energy that energises the body.
We define pride at Listen to Your Body as a beneficial, often exaggerated, sense of our personal value at the expense of others. We overvalue ourselves.
An overwhelming EGO manifests as pride. It emerges when we want to be correct and dominate the other so they lose and we win. Openness and listening are lacking. Conversations can often get stubborn.
Some don't consider themselves proud but claim others are. Despite not being stubborn, this shows you are as proud as the other person. Thinking and saying you're right and the other person is incorrect is egotistical.
Pride causes physical and societal issues. Pride is thought to be the greatest plague on earth because it hardens the heart and prevents us from loving one other.
Pride is always rooted in the fear of rejection. Prideful people don't like to confess they fear losing face, not being good enough, being misunderstood, condemned, rejected, or defective.
Prideful people want to prove themselves better than others because they can't stand being inferior. He eventually convinces himself he's superior, smarter, or more evolved. His rightness or wrongness is promptly justified before anyone questions him.
You must express your rejection fear to overcome pride. With this perception, you may spot it in others' comparable behaviour. Their pain at being rejected and unloved will help you empathise with them. You will touch their hearts and help them, not criticise.
In a disagreement, you can remark, "I accept your point of view even if it differs from mine." We share an important viewpoint. No one feels defeated or meek because everyone wins.
By becoming more modest, we face our ego, which shows respect and self-love.
