Pride, ego, savior complex, call it what you want. I now know I’ve got it bad. Honestly, I hadn’t thought of myself as a prideful person until recently. Now looking back I see pride in nearly every area of my life. Pride manifested itself in ways I was oblivious to. I can now look back and see I have a HUGE pride problem.
It appears as though pride has a grip in nearly every single area of my life. As a youngster I always wanted to be the hero of my story. I desired to be the knight in shining armor, the handsome cowboy rescuing the damsel in distress. I dreamed of being the man all the ladies swooned over due to my innate ability to swoop in just in time to save the day.
As I’ve matured, I’ve learned the hard way life rarely works out like the movies and fairy tales claim. The following weeks will be a journey through several areas where Pride has reared its ugly face in my life.
