If this is your first time with us on the real ones reserve podcast, we talk about inspirational things and self-awareness. Also I do this show because I love helping people.
That's my passion. I love encouraging and inspiring people. So on today's show, we're gonna talk about good pride and bad pride. Somebody say, Hmm, what's good pride and bad pride MDEE. So good pride to me is if you find yourself in a situation. You'll do your best to resolve that situation by yourself. In other words, like be a grown up, be a responsible human being.
You're trying to get it worked out on your own rather than lean on your best friend or your family member or whomever, um, for everything and, uh, for bad. A bad pride, uh, would be the complete opposite thing. Bad pride is knowing you need help. You need assistance and you don't reach out. Another form of good pride is, you know, being prideful about your name, being prideful about who you are being prideful about, living up to the standards that you've created for yourself, your family, your spouse.
Your organization, whatever, you know. And, uh, another example of bad pride would be, is to, let's say, you know, you need to make some changes in your life and you completely ignore the fact that you need to do so. And you just keep doing your, your thing. That's a form of bad pride, you know, that changes are necessary and you still won't make the changes that are necess.
So, what I want you guys to do with me right now is stroll with me down memory lane. So once upon a time, when I was in the military, it was a great thing to be, uh, having pride, you know, whatever unit you were in, whatever organization you were a part of, man, they wanted you to be proud to be there. They wanted you to feel.
For the most part to be there and be a part of the team now in a different breath. Everybody don't like every unit and, you know, I'm an optimistic thinker for the most part. And, uh, some people just ain't so optimistic. Um, some people would say, I hate this unit. I hate this place. They. Those individuals probably weren't as prideful.
So they didn't mix with that culture. So with that being said, that goes along with why I titled the message, good pride or bad pride. They don't mix together just like water don't mix with oil. And it is crazy to think. If you're, uh, a person that's prideful in the wrong way, you could be missing out on so many things you could be missing out on so much help.
So many things that are due to you, but you're being too prideful to accept them. You know, being too proud to accept them. What is that? Do you feel that the route or. Person that the help is coming through is beneath you, or do you feel too embarrassed to take help or handout? Are you being too prideful or do you have too much bad pride?
Most likely. Now I know a lot of people that play off the idea that things happen for a reason, which I do. I meet people for a reason. Certain things happen to me for a reason. I truly believe that I truly believe if I get out here, uh, drive in my truck somewhere, meet somebody and start talking about some helpful things.
I don't think that's by mistake, all things come together, uh, in all of our lives. At some point in time, you. Like, oh man. I was just thinking about doing that or, oh man, I just needed that product, whatever, you know, I think what a lot of people's problems are is that they discriminate against where their help comes from.
Let me say that again, you discriminate where your help comes from. Oh, you don't feel like it's coming from the right channel. You're gonna discredit or discriminate where your help comes from, man. That's just setting you back so much. You could have been way ahead of where you're supposed to be. If you had just listened to this person that the universe or whomever put into your life.
Cause we all here for a reason, different reason. But we all here for a reason, are you gonna allow your good pride to lead you to where you need to be, or your bad pride to just mess you over and allow you to waste time? I saw the saying, uh, a couple times on different social media platforms. You could have been learning from me, but you chose to hate on.
And not listen to me like, is that you are you that prideful to not humble yourself and capitalize on who's in your life. They're there to help you increase your quality of life for not just your generation, but generations and generations and generations to come wrapping up. Today's show we learned.
Having good pride and bad pride. I hope you guys learn something on today. I hope that you understand the difference between the two and never be too prideful to take great help. Take the help, humble yourself and take the help no matter where it's coming from. Why? Because that just makes sense to. And as always, it's your boy, the veteran.
So who you think you're better than.
