| | Pride |
 | | With such pride you live a life of indifference, avoidance, and denial of the warning signs that what you believe yourself to be is not what you really are. |
 | | Pride makes you impatient, distrusting, and not accepting of those who do not ascribe to your philosophy, spiritual beliefs, psychological principles, and sociological mandates. |
 | | Step 2: Once you have determined that your pride in your accomplishments, achievements, and successes has gone out of control, that it is a mask for your low self-esteem, your lack of self-confidence and insecurity, then you are ready to take an inventory of yourself in your journal. |
