Pride isn’t a good behavior one should have many didn’t wish to have it, but it came all of a sudden, there are different ways one could easily overcome pride.
I will be highlighting different steps which you can take to overcome pride.
Humility.
Humility is the opposite of pride, for you to overcome pride, you need to embrace humility.
You might want to ask, How can I embrace humility?.
Firstly humility is the act of being humble, giving respect to people irrespective of their age or background e t c.
The term Humility have different meanings, but the meaning I highlighted above is one of the important meanings.
Humility itself has different qualities which I will highlight below.
a) Self-respect.
When you are able to respect yourself, people will respect you naturally without you showing people that you are more important than them.
When you respect yourself, people see you as a very wise and intelligent thereby coming to you for advise.
Hence, giving you the proper respect you deserve.
Real respect is earned, you can’t buy it with money, all those who force people to respect them because of their influence and wealth earn a fake respect.
b) Respect for the society.
Like I said earlier, when you respect people, they respect you in return.
In any situation or condition you are in irrespective of age, religion, social status, financial status etc., you should always try to respect people and give honor to them.
You should always learn to give respect to government and organization by adhering to the necessary rules and regulations they give.
c) Love
Learn to love people, it’s a very important quality of humility, people also tend to love you back thereby building a good relationship.
You can show love to people by caring and helping them.
2. Good mentorship.
Look for persons who have good qualities, ask for their mentorship, follow their steps, this will help you to be like them to.
Your pastor or anyone could be your mentor, but make sure they are well known by people.
You could call or send them a mail, ask for their mentorship and guidance, they will be happy and glad to help you.
They could do that by sending you daily or weekly guidelines which will help you to grow like them.
Take the time to listen to others and consider their perspectives. Avoid interrupting or dismissing others, and show a genuine interest in what they have to say.
3. Don’t feel to big.
You could actually be a great person full of different potential or someone who seems to know almost anything.
You know within yourself that you are better than others, but you don’t need to show it because you can’t easily judge who other people are.
Whenever you are amidst people and you see they are giving their different opinions, always try to listen and not argue even though it seems they are wrong, after they must have been done, you could tell them your ideas, explain to them how your idea could work best..
Also know that, you can’t know everything, there are some who knows better than you.
Be open to learning from others, even if they have less experience or knowledge than you do. Recognize that everyone has something to offer, and be willing to learn from anyone. Cultivate a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the people and experiences in your life. Recognize that you are not entitled to anything and that everything you have is a gift.
4. Have a good mindset.
Your mindset really matters, it shows your believe for something.
Developing a good mindset really helps you to do the right thing at the right time.
Avoid the trap of comparing yourself to others, which can feed into feelings of pride. Focus on your own progress and growth, and be grateful for what you have.
Whenever you might be tempted to do something which is wrong, your mindset withhold you from doing it
Conclusion.
Remember, overcoming pride is a process that takes time and effort. Focus on being humble, open-minded, and willing to learn, and practice gratitude and appreciation for the people and experiences in your life. With practice and persistence, you can overcome pride and cultivate stronger relationships with others.
