Another way to ask this question is “How healthy is your pride at the moment?”.
Healthy pride allows us to feel comfortable in our own skin without seeking external validation.
Healthy pride helps us honour our inner essence (skills, qualities, values) along with our external accomplishments.
Healthy pride keeps us open to learning without judgement as to the teachers or topics that appear before us to study.
Unhealthy pride, on the other hand, binds us to our Ego that has a rather fixed mindset.
Unhealthy pride is obsessed with control and we know what happens when we attempt to control everything – not only do we lose the control, but we lose our ability to flow (and change, and grow) naturally with the flow of the Universe.
