Pride

Pride

It may not be such a bad thing after all. This 'Pride' thing, I was once told that I'm too proud, I see too highly of myself. Guys that's totally.......true. Haha yeah i'm not perfect, if I was I wouldn't need to make a blog, I would just walk around the streets preaching or something. (not gonna happen :P)

Of course over time I learnt to humble down and be a better person.

BUT here's a catch, how much should you humble down? I mean think about it (Read the next phrase carefully):

"I'm not proud. It's just that if I don't believe in myself fully...who will?"

In all honesty, I'm sure many people have thought of this quote before and some may have said it, but at this very moment, I created this quote off the top of my head. (Great example of self pride here ^^)

So, how proud should you be?

Here's just ONE thing which I tend to ask myself these day's before I use my pride (be it what I do or what I say) :

Do I really believe in it?

If you believe in it, go for it. In my post "Pursue", I mentioned that you should not let anyone stop you from achieving your dreams and that you have to protect your beliefs. AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT if you don't believe in what you want to do whole heartedly?

Personally, I've always wanted to get the top grades, be the best shooter (yes shooting is my sport if you didn't know), be nice to everyone. I mean seriously, why wouldn't I aim for that. Why wouldn't YOU aim for the best? That's right viewer, I'm asking you right now, do you really aim to achieve your full potential? (If you have thought through this and you do aim to be the best you can be, read on)

You want to be the best, that's good. Now you have to believe. Alot of people want something but just can't imagine themselves being there. Yah sure, maybe you can imagine yourself being at the final destination and happy and all (the ideal), but can you imagine journey? Visualise the hardship, the trials, the problems, the minor victories. and I'm not just talking about sports, this applies for EVERYTHING you hope to do.

Here's a little exercise:
Of course, read through first before doing it :)

Close your eyes and visualize the following: (Take about a 30seconds to a minute for each point):
1) Visualize yourself as you are now.
2) Visualize yourself where you want to be in 10 years
3) Tone down abit and visualize 5 years from now
4) Visualize one year from now
5) A month
6) Tomorrow
7) Now with a clear view of what you want to do and work to do, open your eyes and get ready for a new day.

This will take less than 10 minutes! Imagine, in LESS THAN 10 minutes, you visualise and plan out an entire decade of things you hope to do and achieve. That's good right? I sure believe so!

So do this now. Visualise. It'll definitely help you gain the confidence in what you hope to achieve. Remember:
If you don't take pride in what you do fully and whole heartedly...who will?

Thanks viewers! You guys are awesome! Do share this around if you think it helped you! :)
