Arrogance

.

.

Honesty

separates

self esteem

from

arrogance.



.

.

To display an overbearing sense of superiority is true sign of arrogance.

You must earn the respect of others, you do not demand respect from them.

Be self confident, not presumptuous.

Do not make assumptions, be willing to say, " I do not know."

Most importantly, say that you would be willing to learn.

Arrogance is a lot of smoke being generated by ego maniacs

who are trying to hide an inferiority complex.

Your Higher Power did not place you or any other soul into this world

to be a slave to another's false ego.

Arrogance is a dishonest act.

"Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance
and hypocritical humility.
I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.” ~ Frank Lloyd Wright

I you've got it, flaunt it.

Take pride in being the best person that you can be.

It takes knowledge, understanding, and a whole list of other good virtues

for a person to become a leader.

Arrogance is not a good virtue.

Not everyone is a leader, but everyone is a teacher.

Those who are not arrogant are willing to learn from everyone,

both the young and the old, the smart and the dumb,

the leader and the follower.

The will of your Higher Power is given to you by those people and things

that are put into your life.

"The insufferable arrogance of human beings to think
that Nature was made solely for their benefit,
as if it was conceivable that the sun had been set afire
merely to ripen men's apples and head their cabbages." ~ Cyrano de Bergerac

Every soul has God like qualities, only the arrogant believe

that they are the only ones to have been so blessed.

Today, for the benefit of others, wear your God given talents

as a badge of honor.

Today, earn your respect by honestly being yourself.

Today, do not presume or assume.

Today, be a friend so you can have a friend.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly

and trust in our Creator who loves us.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Unacceptable


.

Who are we to say

that anything

in God's world

is unacceptable??





A Higher Power created this world exactly the way it is and

our opinion is of little significance.

The sun will rise, the tides will turn, and people will be people.

The only unacceptable thing that I can change is my

behavior and my attitude.

"Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation;
it does not mean running away from the struggle.
On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes,
with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering,
of psychological complexes and injustices."                    ~ Paul Tournier

There are three guarantees in life; death, unacceptable childish behaviors

and taxes.

As unacceptable as death may be to us we must accept

that it is inevitable.

We mourn for those whom we loved that have died,

we collect their strength and add it to ours to make

us stronger and better able to do the will of our Higher Power.

Have faith, a Higher Power assures us that no spirit departs

this world without having the chance to make this world we live in

a better place.

"That is the definition of faith -
acceptance of that which we imagine to be true,
that which we cannot prove."                                   ~ Dan Brown

Children learn their behaviors from the examples they see.

If your child's behaviors are unacceptable, improve

the examples that they see.

To have children cooperate with you use words that are

acceptable, such as "I love you," "Please," Thank you,"

and "How can we make this better for everyone."

Children are innocent until you make them guilty.

"Seeing people as innocent is the greatest gift
you can give another human being:
the gift of acceptance."                      ~ Rhonda Britten

The last unacceptable guarantee is taxes.

When people find things unacceptable they ask for change.

Does having a different leader using different words to

describe the same issues constitute change?

We should never have left a Higher Power

out of our schools or out of our government.

"Accept the place the divine providence has found for you,
the society of your contemporaries,
the connection of events."                          ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today, point out the unacceptable.

Today, do not get angry, ask politely for change.

Today, do something, but do not rely on your neighbor

to grieve for your loss, raise your children or pay your taxes.

"Happiness can exist only in acceptance." ~ George Orwell

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
