Humility is hard when someone has things like wealth, knowledge, & recognition that may tempt him/her behave and act pridefully. Otherwise, worrying about pride without these factors that predispose you, it is just an illusion.

Curiosity is a worthwhile virtue than certainty. While the former leads to grow, the latter muzzles your growth and results in stagnation...
Any fight in life whether it is physical, mental, moral, or spiritual, how long you stay in the fight is highly dependent on your growth.
We should invest on our personal development not only to outgrow challenges but also maximize every opportunity that comes on our way.
What a joy to meet and be around with people who're self-aware with healthy self-esteem. They embrace you and make your stay with them enjoyable.
The line between ego and healthy self-esteem is very delicate. We should know when we cross this line, switch side, and become egotistical.
Abandoning your true self amounts to suicide except that it is less dramatic. Don't commit suicide so that you may appease some folks...
Desire activates the potential that was coined within you. You cannot unleash your potential without stepping up your desire to succeed...
Desire is the foundation of our greatness. Without it, we are stranded; we cannot go anywhere. You won't get, what you don't eagerly desire.
The starting place for your greatness is desire. The desire to succeed, to serve others, to keep on going no matter what; the desire to...
The more people grow, the more they attain personal mastery. They become assets to the organization, not liabilities..
Personal mastery begins by increasing our awareness about who we truly are, our strengths, limitations... Personal mastery can be achieved not only by being aware but also by controlling what is happening inside and around ourselves...
Many of the confusions, conflicts, and disarrays that are rampant in today’s organizations, communities, and nations could have been avoided if leaders have solid self-awareness...
An unceasingly grateful life can easily heal from the wounds of hurt and setback. It can also easily shed resentment, hate, and bitterness…
Success is relative. We shouldn't compare the financial success between a person born into riches and the one born into abject poverty.
When you are genuinely preoccupied in serving others using your talent and experience, doors that you have never knocked start to open up...
With increased self-awareness comes focus... We become selective. We refrain from jumping to grab every opportunity that comes on our way...
When leaders lack self-awareness, they doubt themselves; uncertain about their abilities; unclear about the direction to take on each turn, and more...
When you become self aware, you know your uniqueness, strengths, and limitations too. You become easy to work with others. You also avoid competing with others unhealthily.
As a leader, 1st, work on yourself- increase your self-awareness. There shouldn't be any other urgent agenda than this. Get enlightened! Know very well who you're including your strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots!
Increase your self-awareness up to the point where you shouldn't depend on the opinions of others about who you truly are...
If you're a true student of the truth, you may easily get frustrated when people try to make points based on mysticism and cultural beliefs.
Wisdom teaches you when to use your discretion- with whom, what, and when to share your feelings and discernments...
The few people who earned my respect are those who are predictable in their character but totally unpredictable the way they think!
No one deserves to rent your heart, especially those who hurt you. Your heart is precious and deserves to store your great memories!
You don't need to become great 1st to step into your greatness. Have you left your comfort zone and ventured out to unleash your greatness?
You're a greatness material! You're great in your own unique ways. Have you found the source of your greatness?
Don’t cap your potential in the name of humility. First, maximize your potential, serve the world with your greatness and then worry about pride :-) lol
I've many reasons why I believe that every individual I meet is a greatness material, I don't have any reason to think otherwise except that person's self doubt.
Honesty doesn't mean you reveal everything you discern and feel. That is why we have the word discretion...
Each one of us has a unique spot in this harmonious and self-sustaining universe. If our desire is to succeed and enjoy life to the full both personally, professionally, and business wise, we should spot our unique place in the universe.
Until the ego dissolves or evolves to become one with our true self, we remain slaves of our own egos.
If you truly have character and respecting others is your core value, you respect everybody regardless of who they are, what they believe and how they behave...
Character isn't all about becoming a saint or perfect. No one is perfect! There are areas we all are working on to improve and fine tune..
The character of someone shouldn't be measured based on what they eat, drink or the way they dress. Character that commands following is more than demonstrating some 'nice', 'cute', 'appealing' behaviors. It is deeper than that!
People attempt to create association b/n you and your values. Oh, Mary- the girl who is caring; you mean the company with quality products?
Whenever someone 'pretends' as perfect, never made a mistake, error, sin in his life, I know that he has never been in the field...
You shouldn't allow people who hurt you to occupy a fraction of your heart. Forgive and move on, especially in this season of thanksgiving.
The people who care about you may not tell you your blind spots fearing to offend/hurt you. Open up and ask their feedback and get enlightened.
It is an illusion to worry about pride without having those things that may predispose someone to fall into the trap of pride...
