Integrity and Character are the most important aspects of a human being, though, and truth and correctness are the basis of character.
Whatever your good deeds, it will be of no use to you if you do not get rid of the bad qualities.
Always go the way of truth and morality.
A cause, initiative or organisation without morality is doomed to degenerate and decay.
However, it's not enough to just talk about morality.
It must permeate all your work and be expressed in every step you make, every breath you take. It has to run through your thoughts and woven through your vision, goals and mission.
Many people consider pride to be a positive and important human trait - even a virtue. However, one cannot overlook the fact that pride in us creates some rigidity - some proud grandeur that brings us many problems in life.
Whenever we focus our thinking on pride, we can almost always conclude that pride is the seed of doubt from which all other flaws gradually emerge, such as: insult, arrogance, greed, lust, vanity, self-love, selfishness, hatred, arrogance, greenery. jealousy, etc…
"Pride is a feeling of great satisfaction with oneself and a deep respect for oneself - one's own personality, which comes from the subjective conviction that we are something special, or at least above something else" (C. G. Jung).
And it is this pride, as one of the significant components of our character, that always blossoms whenever our mind surrenders to our ego.
Likewise for egoism, many people think that the positive trait of our personality is even, that it is necessary for our proper development.
However, the truth is, instead of egoism being the servant of our development, we have allowed it to evolve into our jailer.
And the worst part is that it doesn't bother us at all!
Therefore, it is necessary for us to address our pride and our ego personality more often, because that is our most important task in life: To know ourselves and then begin to break down our ego. '' We fight in vain with our external evil situations, unless we first clear our internal, selfish, greedy and often even terrified ego. ''
This assertion confirms the ancient wisdom that '' our exterior is the image of our interior ''. To put it simply, the condition of our interior is a cause, the consequence of which is our exterior.
We also need to accept the fact that the factor responsible for all our stress, evil, suffering, depression ... is within us.
But we also need to know that all of our positive spiritual knowledge, if not validated in practice - if we do not live it, is just one empty and worthless theory, and perhaps even an impediment to any spiritual progression.
Every human being has one stable core of consciousness - one nucleus - free spiritual consciousness, which we have known for centuries as our soul.
However, that soul of ours is almost hardly recognisable in the presence of one of our internal, aggressive agents, who controls our reason and directs the flow of our thoughts and actions.
This factor, referred to by psychoanalysts as the "false Self," is none other than our "ego", which has emerged during human development and is expressed in some of its inner voice by conducting an almost continuous dialogue with our consciousness.
So gradually the strong connection between our consciousness (our soul) and our transient Self weakened, and we began to imagine and identify with the false fact that our '' ego '' is, in reality, our personality - ours ''. I''.
Here, in this way, the ego overshadowed our free spiritual consciousness (soul), took over our thought and emotional mechanisms and through them conquered our body. In other words, we no longer hear the faint voice of our soul, and without thinking we surrender to the initiatives of the ego, whose dark cloud almost completely overshadowed our inner sun.
It is very difficult to recognise our ego in us, because it constantly changes its roles: the hour is portrayed as an injured person - an insulted person, the hour is angry and angry, despondent and desperate, or plunges us into depression, fear or panic ... And if it always whispers in the same voice , he is a plural creature with diverse interests. From the pluralism of the ego's cheek - its mighty 'I', we are simply unable to pursue one's purpose and act from our stable core of consciousness - from one's soul, because we blindly follow the motives of our egoism. We think, believe, and most often even know, that we have our own individuality and our freedom to decide, however, it is a pure illusion because in reality, we are servants - slaves to our egoism.
The proud man's intellect works in an abnormal way,
and such a man lives far from the Truth.
Consider how many times in your life you have
encountered and still encounter situations where
everyone thinks pride is something positive and a
goodness.
Society continuously demonstrates how vaguely and
inadequately explained human values are in the
organisational systems and the role they play in
todays business world.
Most would agree that Perfectly balanced amount of pride and ego is
healthy and good for the competitive environments
but ignoring the facts that pride can turn into an ego
can cause a devastating ripple effects.
If you are a Leader or Manager..business owner…
Its ok to be proud of your achievements and accomplishments but if you allow that pride cuts the connection and sync between your heart and your mind, you are going to lose your pride to Ego.
Most traditional leadership training or coaching aims to change the way you think, asking you to reflect on who you are and who you’d like to become. Increase your self awareness first.
Know who you are.
Define your leadership purpose, your values and authentic self, and these insights will guide your leadership journey.
The way we think is a product of our past experience and if you find yourself suffering from the symptoms of pridegoistic tendencies,
it is time to change.
Time to change ways of approaching and doing your work, new relationships and new ways of connecting and engaging with people around us.
Its time to change how we see our strengths and weaknesses. Its time for a feedback.
Asking people around us what we do wrong and what we do right.
No matter how much strategic you might be and how compelling your
ideas, if no one else buys in, not much happens. Nor do people buy in for
abstract, theoretical reasons; they buy in because you have somehow connected with them personally.
Pride and ego is the Grim reaper of personal connections and professional relationships.
To avoid falling into the “Pridegoistic” trap keep checking within:
Maintain a strong coherence between
what you believe,
what you actually do, and
who you really are.
Your mind, heart and your personal values have to be in a strong unbreakable connection and sync.
