Proverbs 13:10 “Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.” I am a recovering alcoholic. I don’t like labeling myself like that, because it is me identifying with a negative part of my life. I prefer to identify as a redeemed, child of God. Yet, if I forget, that I have a serious allergy to alcohol and think I can have, “Just one” it could end very badly for me. Therefore, I accept my friends and fellow AA members advice and accept the label. It keeps me humble. I need to be humble and not prideful to actually hear advice. I dont always take intellegence offered to me. I am a better person, when I listen and hear what someone is tells me. I wouldn’t be sober today if I wouldn’t have learned to take advice. Today, if you are hearing some advice you might not want to take…..be inspired to at least truly hear it. “ Pride breeds quarrels ….wisdom is found in those who take advice.”
