Ego

Here is your Saturday STORY on: SOLVING PROBLEMS: If you are a generous person, people will be generous back. If you are a mean person, or a scrooge, then it will be you who grumbles about every other individual not being too helpful. So it appears to make sense that whenever possible 'sew your seeds of goodness' then they will eventually arrive back in your lap. Give out happiness; you'll get happiness flooding back. I'll give you two quick examples of negative thoughts and positive. Thoughts related to what mood and feeling you outwardly express. Walk through a supermarket all grumpy and sad, and I would gamble you meet nobody you know and you'll not remember picking anything up. Walk through with a smile on your face and you'll meet all your neighbours, your long lost cousin, your aunt Connie and your old school pal. Be happy and your life will improve. Here is today's story... GOOD THINGS About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never hear any noise from the children, but the parents were always yelling at the kids, not in a constructive tone, but more on the threatening side. When I am in my bathroom it is quite loud. We met often in the hallway when we were coming or going. I always spoke, but the only answer I ever got was a hello from the four-year old girl. I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I returned they were just coming from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things because I wasn't too eager to be snubbed. The parents were telling her to hurry and get in the car (they were parked next to me). I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me. I am handicapped to the point that I can't hurry at anything, but I hurried as much as I could and thanked her. She was smiling from ear to ear. That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and I saw a white teddy bear. I thought of the little girl and said to myself, "I bet she would like that" so I bought it. I forgot to tell you how much I was touched by her act of kindness. I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had touched a soft spot in an old man's heart and I didn't even know her name. The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me like I had never been thanked before. Then I noticed her mother and the other children were there in the hall too. The mother and father both thanked me. Now when we meet in the hall we all speak, and in a friendly manner I might add. As time passes, I don't hear that yelling as often, in fact, hardly at all. Last night we had about 4 inches of snow. I looked out at my car and wondered how I was going to keep my doctor's appointment because I can only exert myself just so long and then rest for a while. I didn't have that much time. The temperature was zero, so I bundled up and went out to remove the snow. When I opened the outside door, there was my car with all the snow removed. I can't express how I felt at that moment. The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building, so when I saw him the next day, I asked him if he was the good guy that removed my snow. He said NO. He wanted to but his wife said she wanted to do it. Isn't it amazing how the small kind act of a 4-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? My guardian angel says that more good things come from small acts. (Russ Grover - 84 years old).

Does this sound like insecurity or competitiveness?
When I see a trait, accomplishment, thing that someone has but I don't have, I feel like I want it too. It doesn't come from anger, and It's not that I don't feel good enough without it, but I just think "I can have that too so why don't I?" I hate having to "accept" what I have - I like being the best. I hate, hate, HATE being pitied, or looked at as in need. I hate "owing to someone" I like honor, dignity, and pride <-- earning them of course* I also tend to have a big ego and unnecessary pride - this runs in our family by the way :P I sometimes feel like I'm too good for certain things - but I don't rub it in anyone's face though. I just feel like I deserve and can do better...I mean, what's so wrong with that...? I'm very considerate and fair towards people, and I always tell the people I know the good things about them....It's just that i also can't help but reflect on myself too..!!! So do you think this is insecurity, or just competitiveness...? Thanks!

How can arrogance be a sign of low self-esteem?
Honestly I have pretty high self-esteem - their are many things that I love and am proud of about myself. Personality, and appearance. But I tend to have some unnecessary pride and a big ego. I feel like I am too good for some things...and sometimes some people - I'm very considerate to people's feelings and I never rub it in anyone's face though - in fact I always tell people the good things I see in them, and I love strengthening them - those arrogant thoughts are just in my head. I hate, hate, HATE being seen as weak, and ESPECIALLY needy. I hate being pitied. I like working with honor, pride, and dignity. Do you think this sounds like low self-esteem or something...? Thanks! Darn it I forgot the actual question :P How can this arrogance mean low self-esteem?
