Yesterday-
After beginning my day with a meditation on the perils of pride, I must say I was disgusted to exhibit the very vice I prayed to avoid. The processes of hiring and review in modern business bring about a bit of a conundrum... The writing of a resume and subsequent interview process is rife with opportunities for self-proclamation.
On thoughts of an impending review, I found myself more than ready to drag another friend down and emphasize my own importance in a conversation with a peer. Knowing this particular peer would be part of my yearly review process, I unflinchingly pursued an opportunity to level the playing field.
My methodology may have veiled the removal of credit from my friend as I argued for shared successes among leadership, but my heart's desire was not for team celebration... I guess I'm encouraged by how cut I was by realization of the sin, but still frustrated to see in myself such a ready embrace of the most serious human pitfall.
I believe I must confess this to my friend.
