Pride. I take pride in certain things I do, in certain things I have, in certain things that I am.
Are you proud? This feeling makes me feel a little arrogant but a lot more special. When you are proud about something example if you can multiple numbers fast and you are proud of it, you know for sure that you can beat a lot of them in and around you if there was a competition right now. You just KNOW that you can do it. You have confidence in it. This makes you a little arrogant because you compare. Comparing with others and concluding that most of them are less talented than you in this area. But we should never forget that there is someone better and this is what keeps you grounded and keeps you on track, that you have to work a lot more, you could be a lot better.
Have you always been proud of yourself? Have you ever taken pride in someone else? someone dear to you, someone you have inspired, someone you mentored, or even some relationships you have. A pride where arrogance is not involved.

I usually prefer to talk about the heart. So naturally this post is not about how proud you are about yourself, something related to your head but its about how proud you are about someone else. Do you have someone whom you are proud of?
I know a person from almost 14 yrs. I take pride in that. He is not my best friend nor do we spend a lot of time with each other. This fact makes it more difficult to be good friends after so many years. It needs efforts and sometimes just this trust that no matter how many days you don't talk it will still be great the next time you pick up that phone. I somehow am proud of this because I know most of us don't have friends from our childhood. This makes me special and its my own and hence I take pride.
Similar to this there are a lot more that I am proud of. I take pride in my parents, they are AMAZING. Their way of love or the way they brought us up teaching us to treat each other equal, to be responsible with money, to be responsible about our responsibilities. I also take pride in my friends, some of them are really good at math, some of them are great writers, some of them are cool, some of them are good at sports, some of them have amazing sense of humor, some of them have a lot of patience, some of them can talk well, some of them can sing well, the most important thing that demands my admiration is that all of them have a BEAUTIFUL heart. All these features are not mine but its their own, I know that, but still I take pride in them. May be because I am a part of their life, or they are part of mine.
Sometimes I wonder do you take pride in me? As your sister, as your daughter, as your friend, as you girl friend, as your wife, as anything that I am for you. Would you present me proudly....????
Most important of all, not as a comparison but I want my heavenly Father to say this to me.
Proverbs 31:29 - “Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.”

Beautifully written especially the way you've started it and the way you've arrived at your point step by step. Keep up the good work. Btw, I'm proud of you and I'd showcase you to the entire world (well, actually I already do).
