How do you balance your Humility and your Pride?

My daily horoscope says to find such a balance. I wonder how?
Do you think both can co-exist peacefully, or there always will be an on-going conflict?
Can humility kill pride? Will it still be called Humility, if it does?
Just wondering!
Would love to hear your views on the subject 
Clever answers…all of them! Thank you very much!
As for you, Pocko, you’re dripping with humility! Never heard you owning up to your ‘mistakes’ this way before

P’quaint;
Keep your Pride personal. Make you Humility show.
Be humble and simple.This will bring Pride of your recognition &Honor.At the same time,if you started feeling of your humility,then neither you will have the honor of pride nor continuance of humility.The former is your balancing act.
You need pride to have humility. You will not admit to ineptitude without knowing that “you as a whole” are still good. Ignoring your mistakes, pretending like you make no mistakes or you have no faults is a false sense of pride. True pride is from knowing your limits and capabilities.
In my opinion, Pride is healthy when it is done out of Love rather than Fear. When you pride of things you feel good about like you pride yourself because you real do love yourself and see good things from it without denial. When it is out of Fear, it becomes unhealthy like when you see everybody as a threat to your dignity.
Humility is good too, especially when you show your pride through actions rather than words but being too humble is also bad because too much humility is pride. You pride yourself of being humble because, again, you Fear of being judged.
If you have things to be proud of, then these are also things to be grateful for. Humility concerns your ability to see others with compassion – ultimately we are all “just slobs on the bus tryin’ to make our way home. .. “
Although I am a highly intelligent and responsible person, in the past I’ve made some very “unintelligent” decisions and have many times shirked my responsibilities in favor of mind-altering imbibements, rock music, and women dressed in leather showing lots of cleavage and unadulterated vivaciousness…
In addition, I balance out my incredibly strong and virile sense of humility by being an arrogant wize azz from time to time, and leaving the toilet seat lid up (women hate that)…
Personaly i don’t balance my pride with humility. But remember that pride is a vice (in a non religious way).
Hmm, I wish I knew! Personally I believe I err on the side of humility, I’m VERY uncomfortable with pride, and I probably need to work on that balance a little better. I was raised to be humble in all things, never to exalt myself or any of my accomplishments. For this reason, perhaps, I have always been able to genuinely enjoy and relish in the excellence of others without ever feeling any envy or jealousy whatsoever, and that has been so my entire life, and in all things. I am comfortable with my self and the life I lead, but don’t particularly feel the need to have actual ‘pride’ about it.
It’s an interesting anomaly in the lives of those close to me that adopting humility and the suspension of pride has in fact brought about honour, acknowledgement and recognition beyond what I think we may have achieved had we been busily trying to convince everyone of our worthiness! My wonderful father was an incredibly humble man, but yet ironically he was perceived as a very noble, dignified man.
In answer to your subquestion, I am not entirely sure that humility actually kills pride … but I think it does temper it!
Maybe it is humility that converts real pride into the more palatable qualities of dignity and self-esteem!
My point of view is,
You may get humiliated but what makes the real difference is how you react to that humility,
If you make it seem like it’s a simple thing, like it may happen to anyone, you can make it less humiliating. You can keep you’re pride and and it will all blow over.
Objectivity is the answer here. Always be true to yourself. And that means accepting that you’re both capable of greatness and weakness.
Pride is of the lower self which likes to puff itself up.
Humility (surrender) is of the Higher Self which needs no such accompaniments.
The two do do not really balance at all.
Pride is the self importance of the lower self.
Humility & surrender know the strength and magnificence of the Higher Self.
u dont be as cockey as u can
What to do with pride…Hmm. Give each their just due. If you have a degree, you owe your achievement partly to those who taught. Give them credit.
For our own accomplishments, We are driven to them. We would not have it any other way because we believe this is simply the right thing to do. It is not for the accolade that Gandhi lead his people. It was for the love of them. He has been the pride of his people because he did what he thought was right. Our humility suffers when we do anything less. Our Pride should ride in the fact that we have done what is right when we should have. It is basic and humble and proper. it is the least we can do and protects us from shame. The most we can do is show our love for others. Not about ourselves but about all of us. Being connected and loving is a great gift and as with all gifts, it is without strings. No accounting of debt is associated with a gift. Those who need understanding can seldom repay the instruction, even when they understand it. It must be gifted to man that all men might learn to be loving. The best pride is that which others have in you or that which you have in others. Never of oneself for oneself. We are part of much. That is enough for me.
Equilibrium is the point of rest created when the balance is attained. We read in “The Book of the Concealed Mystery” that this equilibrium hangs in the negative existence which is pure reality. According to the Kabbalists, when the student creates this equilibrium they become (inwardly) the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The key is the concept of negative existence.

The ending has a nice, happy feel to it. Everybody lives happily ever after, except for Lydia and Wickham, who spend too much money.
I guess you could make it a tragedy and have Lidia and Wickham happy and wonderfully rich and everyone else miserable.
