How to Integrate Attitude, Pride, Humility, and Respect Into Your Life

Posted by Marlene Anderson, MA, LMHC, NCC

We need more than just the desire to live productive and meaningful lives – we also need humility and respect – for ourselves and others.

Whether in our business or personal lives, we need to believe in ourselves and take pride in who we are. But, without humility, we lose respect for others and eventually, for ourselves.

We don’t want to measure our self-worth by what others say about us. Nor do we want to exhibit arrogant self-importance. How do we find a balance?

Today on my blog and podcast, we’ll look at the traits of attitude, pride, humility, and respect, and discuss how we can integrate them into our lives.

When adversity and hardship hit hard, questions and doubts rush to the foreground.

Why? Why me? How could this happen? What did I do wrong?

We experience emotions such as shock, anger, fear, anxiety, and even panic. As comprehension reveals the depth of the problems we face, we may have misgivings about how to successfully resolve them.

It is here we stop and take some calm breaths, and tell ourselves, “Yes, I can.”

While it is important to recognize and affirm our assets, qualities, and strengths, it is equally important to acknowledge our weaker parts. Today on my podcast and blog, I’ll show you three important steps to work with adversity and put self-discipline into practice.
