~ Be Proud Of Who You Are ~
Pride is loving yourself for who you are
and who you became;
it's a gentle knowledge of
your strengths and weaknesses,
a respect for yourself because
you are a unique human being.
Pried is loving the things you do
and doing whatever it takes to do them well;
it's being concerned with the little details
and taking time to work on them.
Pride is knowing tht you have the courage
to withstand the pressures
and disappointness of life;
it's having dignity when faced
with difficult situations,
and maintaining your self-esteem
even when things are not going well.
Pride is having the ability to laugh at yourself,
to know that your mistakes
are only steppingstones to your success.
Pride is loving the world around you
and being glad to offer help
to someone who needs a friend;
it's speaking and thinking
of all the good you see,
giving encouragement where you can,
and listening to those around you.
Pride is feeling good about yourself
andd doing the things that make you happy.
It's being interested and enthusiastic about life;
it's giving yourself to life
as well as accepting the best that life has for you.
