Everyone should have some level of pride. Pride dictates that you have something to stand for. Some pride hinders your growth.Life is full of difficulties and going through difficulties is a norm. A person who is willing to express and seek to conquer life's frustration can continue to utilize the creative side of the brain. A person who is not willing to express life's frustration seeking opportunities out, because of being to prideful will continue to be held down in stress.
When you are a brother and a true friend, people look to find anyway possible way to assist you. Even when you are extremely too prideful to accept the assistance being given. Are you a brother or a true friend? The scriptures speak a lot on the brethren. Are you one that the scriptures speaks on, striving to help uplift your friends, family, and community? Friends, family, and the community are the ones that will be at your aid of difficulties.

Maybe you can answer this question. Why do people allow pride, ego, and fear of being embarrass keep self from asking for assistance???The above question is for you to answer. I am fighting my own battles with that question. Maybe, just maybe the answer and comments you leave on this question can help me and anyone who suffers from having too much pride.
I thank you for reading this and Blogging with Brother Hannibal

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said that pride, once it has taken over the mind, can cause a person to think that they are in power. Pride blinds that person to the Will of Allah (God). He also said that Pride can make a person think of himself as the power and not God as the Power. We must be very careful of being to prideful or arrogant.
ReplyDeleteThe opposite of pride and arrogance is being humble. The Minister said that "Acquiring the quality of humility is a sure means of salvation".
Why is this?
Humility raises our level of tolerance so that when we are tried so that we will not give up.
Whatever trial you are going through dear brother, keep in the forefront of your mind what you say in your daily prayers....
"...Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help. Guide us on the right path-..."
Seek refuge in Allah...
