Pride and Humility

Greetings y'all:

As is my ilk I've been reflecting on the past day and week and month etc... It would seem to me I've been a prideful. Humility ought to outweigh pride but I've had it backwards.

That doesn't mean I'm not proud of defending the underdog , because I am proud to speak for the voiceless. It's doesn't mean I'm not proud of all the growth my son has shown because I am pleased and proud to have my son back. It doesn't mean I'm not proud of my work ethic because I am proud to know I strive to see each person as an individual and remain flexible and professional.

Ok so what does it mean ? Well thanks for asking . In my humble opinion those things are just what ought to be done . Pride should be internal and humility opens more chances to learn and grow. Is it possible my self reflection and constant research of and application of theories is driven by pride ? Yes - pride in my work ethic and also the humility that I can learn from all sentient beings and experiences.

I will continue to be proud of and humbled by the growth and growing pains my child experiences. I've made mistakes and I've done some things right. I'm accustomed to the universe amplifying the former and burying the latter.

I've no idea what today will bring us, other than new memories. Time to remember what Jimmy Buffet sang " breathe in , breathe out, move on"
