Today is Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Me stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes lifting weights and 37 minutes of walking = 2.0 miles for an April total of 7.4 miles. My weight was 162.0 pounds.
QUOTE from Sarah Forgrave, author: "A good friend is like elastic-waist sweatpants. They'll hang with you forever."
My THOUGHTS today are on Deadly Sin #5. Sin #5 is PRIDE - DEFINED AS A HIGH OPINION OF ONE'S OWN WORTH OR POSSESSIONS; CONCEIT.
Pride is a deadly sin when there is too much arrogance involved. But there really is a silver lining if pride is used in the right way.
Jon Katzenbach, a business consultant for 45 years, says a great motivator for businesses is to instill pride in employees and not just money. He says to look at the employees of great organizations like Southwest Airlines, Apple, or the U.S. Marine Corps. He was talking about achievement-oriented pride which fosters leadership and admiration. It even changes physical appearance, prompting more smiles and better posture. And among minority populations, ethnic pride has been linked to better mental health, higher grades, less substance abuse, decreased violence, and lower risk of heart disease.
I personally do not feel pride should be one of the 7 deadly sins. And it won't change because the pope who wrote them has been dead for 1,400 years.
