I have never seen a good example of pride. Though, my definition of pride only takes on a negative cognition. So I don’t consider confidence pride, and I don’t consider a sense of accomplishment in someone/something pride either. I think of those as gratitude and well pleased, confidence. Pride hinders progress at all turns. The main reason I separate pride from any positive traits is because of how toxic it is to attract good things into your life.
Pride prevents learning. I’ve seen it time and time again in the workplace. Someone becomes defensive about their performance and work in all categories. They take any comments and criticism as a personal attack on their person and treat it as such. I’d bet you know someone who does this, it’s so common. It just creates contention and hinders things moving forward. No one likes to tip-toe around eggshells when it comes to personal interactions.
When you don’t admit or acknowledge the mistakes, you can’t progress nearly as fast. While it’s not fun, it makes the environment you’re in a lot more pleasant to be around. It makes creating projects and working around others a lot faster in general. You can improve your own skills a lot faster. You’ll feel better in the long run as you’re being honest with yourself, which will also increase trust with others. The best thing is a positive, can-do attitude:
“I can fix this.”
“Simple fix.”
“Oh! I got this.”
Humility is primarily teachable, and there is power in that. This means you’re always improving, increasing your skill. Aligning yourself with what you want to attract what you want and need. So not just increasing your skills, but what you’re capable of attracting into your life grows. Attraction is like an energy, and humility increases that capacity. Pride prevents this.
Pride directly interferes with feeling the divine light of life. The more a person can be teachable and humble, the more the divine light of life can direct someone. Pride in all forms prevents this from happening. This can stop, block and slow attracting things into your life. Pride isn’t adaptable but sticks to the current state of being. Humility is more adaptable and accepting of positive change.
Cultivating humility is a difficult process for most of us, but doing so will not only attract better people into our life but help others on that path as well. Its one of the more powerful tools in your belt that directly amplifies the law of attraction.
