Sometimes, even though we feel we know best and we know what we need to do to get anywhere and everywhere in our lives there is one thing we need to do: Learn to swallow our pride.
Yes, it hurts. Yes, it totally sucks. Yes, sometimes it's hard and we choke. In the end though, swallowing our pride can help our situation.
Listening to our heart is the most important thing we can remember to do, but also we need to listen to those around us who love us. The true friends, the family, the people who mean the world to us.
During a situation you can have multiple parties of people telling us different things...Which do we listen to? For the most part, if we sit down and we think of what we need to do we can figure it out and decide what to do on our own. At other times though we need to sit down, think about it, and listen to those around us to help guide us in the right direction.
When we listen to someone it can be one of the worst thing to admit that they were right and we were yet again wrong. Honestly, it sucks to admit that someone else is always right about us but sometimes it needs to happen and they need to be right about us. It can be infuriating and aggrivating and down right infuriating to admit that the best friend, the parent, that one special teacher, that group of friend whoever it may be is right. It can be horrible but we need to Swallow It...our pride that is. We just need to learn not to Choke On It...
That is a skill that takes years, a million situations, but only one person to come to terms that those people are right because they are looking out for us and loving us. Don't be angry be grateful and love them back.
So remember, when it comes to pride: Just swallow it, don't choke on it.
