Please my fellow nairalander, I will sincerely appreciate if I can get tips to dealing with pride and arrogant, because I am having a tough time trying overcome those attributes because I know it does not befit me at all. Your kind advise and encouragement will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you all

What are you proud of?

Go check the meaning of humility and how it works.

Thought i un-followed This Topic.

I think the first step towards getting help to your challenge is by recognizing the vice which you have acknowledged by opening this thread.

You are already on the way to recovery. What you need now is a psychological shift. Realise that nobody can free you from this vice except yourself. There is no magic anywhere.

Meditate about it. You are probably proud because you have certain admirable qualities in you. It could a handsome social grace, intelligence, connections, psychic gift, etc etc.

Think about the fact that nothing really last forever. The law of impermanence will take effect one day. No matter how beautifully looking we may appear, how intellectually sound, or popular, it is not for ever. It must pass, too.

Just like every other thing in this physical dimension, it will pass, we will leave them here on earth one day. Think about the passing away of the human soul from this earth which can happen at any hour. Then you will see the futility of earthly honors.

It is the illusion of possession that makes us proud. We are nothing but pencils in the hands of the creator. Little by little, by prayer and supplication, the pride will go away.

Always remember that no matter how rich or good you are, there are people better than you that don't feel proud about it.
