KILL YOUR PRIDE BEFORE IT KILLS YOU
Pride is a silent assassin, it makes you believe you are always right, that you don't need help from anyone, that admitting fault is weakness, that you can do and be anything you want all by yourself. Unfortunately, no one can be anything without people, and pride unchecked does not just bruise your ego, it can destroy your relationships, stunt your growth, and rob you of opportunities.
Pride builds walls, it blinds you to your flaws and deafens you to wisdom. The moment you think you have got it all figured out, you have already started to fall. Humility, on the other hand, opens doors. It invites growth, fosters connection, and fuels resilience. The strongest people are not those who never fail, they are the ones who own their mistakes and learn from them.
To kill your pride, you don't have to diminish your worth; you just have to recognize that you are human, that you are imperfect, and that it is okay for you to be so. Killing your pride is about choosing progress over ego, listening over lecturing, and learning over pretending to know it all. When you let go of the need to be perfect, you free yourself of encumberances that can hold you down from becoming better.
Life is too short to let pride steer the wheel. It will drive you into isolation, regret, and missed chances. Kill your pride now. Let go of the urge to always be right, to be perfect, to be untouchable. Embrace the not too glorious, but beautiful process of becoming. Embrace the discomfort of being vulnerable, it is the only way to grow. Every time you choose humility over pride, you are not weakening yourself; you are building a stronger, wiser version of you. If you want to thrive, you must kill your pride before it kills you.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
