Do you suffer from pride? Are you humble? Which one are you?

PRIDE = ARROGANCE

DEEP FEELING OF SELF PLEASURE OR SATISFACTION DERIVED FROM SELF ACHIEVEMENTS.

HUMBLE = NOT ARROGANT, ASSERTIVE, EGOISTIC, CONCEITED OR PRETENTIOUS

HUMILITY = THE STATE OF BEING HUMBLE.

PRIDE = DISGRACE.

PRIDE = IMPRISONS YOU

PRIDE = LOSS OF EVERYTHING

HUMILITY = CONTENTMENT.

HUMILITY = YOU GAIN FREEDOM FROM EVERYTHING

A man with PRIDE, suffers from this:

1) Full of yourself

2) Always looking down on people

3) Makes others feel bad, because they are not like you

4) Difficulty in accepting fault

5) You are never wrong

6) Cannot say, "PLEASE, THANK YOU, I AM SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME"

7) People avoid you

8) You have a reputation of failed relationships

9) You are unteachable

10) Opportunities begin to SKIP you

What is your WEAKNESS?

What is your STRENGTH?

Are you ALWAYS RIGHT?

Are you able to apologise?

Are you able to sincerely ask for forgiveness?

Are you able to be KIND, or is this task too difficult for you?

Are you able to let others speak while you LISTEN?

IF NOT, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM

LOVE BLOCKER = EGO

ACTION = LET IT GO

COMMUNICATION is KEY

1) INITIAL DISTANCE is necessary

2) When the FLAMES subside, reach for her HAND

3) ALLOW YOUR BODY LANGUAGE TO SPEAK THROUGH THE SORROW OF EMOTION

4) DO NOT preoccupy yourself with other people

5) Be AVAILABLE to LISTEN ACTIVELY WITHOUT INTERUPING

DO NOT RESPOND IN ANGER

RATHER TURN AROUND, DO NOT VENT

WAIT

WAIT

WAIT

TAKE THE FLAMES

TAKE THE SCREAMING. IT IS PART OF HEALING

TAKE AND FACE THE MUSIC. BE READY TO DANCE

IF YOU FORGIVE = TIME = HEALS = PROVIDES YOU A THICKER SKIN

GIVE HER TIME

GIVE HER SPACE

GIVE HER OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK

ALLOW HER TIME TO THINK

ALLOW HER TIME TO COOL DOWN

ALLOW HER TIME TO AGREE TO LISTEN

WHEN SHE IS READY, SHE WILL ACCEPT YOUR COMPANY

LISTEN

LISTEN

LISTEN

UNFORGIVENESS

Is it binding you?

Is it leading you further away from reality and other people ?

Is it making you believe the LIES you keep telling yourself?

Such as, "I AM RIGHT"

Such as, "THEY WRONG"

For 3 minutes say these:

"Please forgive me, I hurt you, I'm sorry"

"Please forgive me, I hurt you, I'm sorry"

"Please forgive me, I hurt you, I'm sorry"

"It was my fault, not yours"

"It was my fault, not yours"

"It was my fault, not yours"

"Please show me how you did that"

"Please show me how you did that"

"Please show me how you did that"

After 3 minutes:

You will feel a LOAD LEAVING your shoulders

You will feel your LUNGS being able to expand again

You will feel a frown turning into a SMILE

Guess what?

You have begun to FREE yourself

BEST MEDICINE FOR PRIDE = SIMPLY LET IT GO

FORGIVENESS ALLOWS YOU TO LET GO

WHEN YOU LET GO = YOU RECIEVE
