How do I avoid pride in the workplace?
Proverbs 11:2-3
2 Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom. 3 The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them.
Philippians 2:3-4
3 Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves: 4 Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men’s.
James 4:6-10
6 But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 7 Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow. 10 Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Catholic view (generated):
To avoid pride in the workplace, cultivate humility by acknowledging your own limitations and valuing the contributions of others. Practice gratitude for the opportunities and successes you experience, recognizing them as gifts from God rather than solely the result of your own efforts. Seek guidance from spiritual mentors or counselors to help you stay centered on your faith and values.
