Philip is a Sergeant First Class In The United States Army and I think he's a very wise man
I collected these and am posting them here so I can have easy acesss to them to read whenever I'm plagued by self doubt or any of the other demons that rob me or any of my friends from living full, rich lives....
Pride is when you stop hiding & pretending and start accepting & living.....
Pride is knowing that if you can't love yourself, how the HELL you gonna love somebody else...
Pride is learning to stop making excuses & stop feeling sorry for yourself
Nobody wants to be invited to your self-pity party.......God doesn't make mistakes; you are who you are for a reason - embrace it!
Pride is remembering & acknowledging those who walked the walk and fought the fight so we could live a little more comfortably today....
Pride is knowing that acceptance & tolerance is a two-way street; it goes both ways.......you want to be treated fairly & equally, then that attitude needs to be reciprocated towards everyone else......
Pride is not just a Sunday afternoon parade, celebrated once a year.......it's celebrated every day, every minute, every second........learn to love yourself & be proud of WHO you are, not WHAT you are......
