The Entanglement of Pride


Pride complicates simple issues, humility simplifies complex matters.

Pride prefers to argue profusely when required to apologise genuinely. Apology has the power to solve a lot of interpersonal glitches.

As cheap as the word 'sorry' is, it is unaffordable for the proud. Sometimes, what is required to prevent an escalation of a simple  misunderstanding is to say, "I'm sorry," and truly mean so.

Pride give excuses for wrongs rather than take responsibilities with apology.

Pride complicates ignorance to mess up things by refusing to learn from others. Pride prefers to die in confusion rather than ask questions for clarity.

Pride despises counsel to compound simple problems. Pride rejects help even when hanging.

Pride loves to command when required to collaborate. Collaboration produces better results than commanding in a team.

Appreciation cheers the heart a lot. 'Thank you' is simple but scarcely found in the expressions of the proud. It takes humility to say "thank you."

It takes humility to give room for dialogue even when right. Pride does not like to reason with others, rather to rule over.

Pride complicates, humility simplifies.

A simple apology or appreciation can avert or diffuse the formation of anger and enmity that could complicate life. 

Humility is wisdom, pride is foolishness. Please, be humble!

Be Real

"Let your emotions and expressions be true colours of your intentions" Deceit is an act of deceiving. A deceiver is a misleader. Where deception thrives, destruction looms. Deceit is a crooked means to any end. Success may come by deceit but it will neither be honourable nor durable. Whatever is not achieved on the basis of truth is not glorious. Therefore, don't be a deceiver or pretender, face life headlong and make sensible outcomes of it. Great men don't live fake lives, they are rather real.  Pretenders don't maximize potentials. Be true to yourself and live truly. Don't paint an image of whom you are not to others, because time will tell whom you truly are. Hypocrisy will end you up a nonentity. If you truly mean it a business to be great, then you have to approach life with every sense of seriousness and self originality.  You have to be real. Stop living a fake life. As long as you are fake, you can not focus on doing what is required to be...

Digits of Diligence

Image
The wise love work and work diligently. To the wise, work is an opportunity to shine, the fool takes it as a medium of oppression. To be hardworking is to take work seriously and do it well and rapidly. A diligent fellow performs with intense concentration, focus, and responsible regard. Diligence is a way-maker; it paves way for success and open doors for honour. A wise man loves work and works hard. Work is a medium of polishing potentials and proving capabilities. It is an avenue of processing and packaging self for glory. No one becomes great being indolent. There is no substitute to work; inputs determine outputs. Laziness is an attribute of foolishness. A fool thinks that luck can replace hard work. No! The wise work hard and wishes for luck for a nice outcome. The wise know that there is no harvest without completing the processes of plantation. Diligence is a personal responsibility which is developed and sustained by discipline. Discipline is indispensable. The wis...

Discernment For Direction

Image
"Discernment is essential for gaining direction and making guided decisions." The advent of a special or new season is often heralded by quiet yet significant events, unusual challenges (including temptations), and seemingly lonely exposures. Navigating this phase requires cultivating a regulated mind in solitude and developing sensitivity to discern divine intentions and directives. This discernment is crucial for identifying the necessary consecrations and sacrifices required to successfully transition from an old season to a new level of glory. #Discernment #Sensitivity #WisdomForLife #PurposefulLiving
