A friend sugested I read this and I did. Great talk by President Benson.

LDS.org - Ensign Article - Beware of Pride

Here are a few thing that hit me hard:

The proud stand more in fear of men’s judgment than of God’s judgment. (See D&C 3:6–7; D&C 30:1–2; D&C 60:2.) “What will men think of me?” weighs heavier than “What will God think of me?”

And this:


The proud depend upon the world to tell them whether they have value or not. Their self-esteem is determined by where they are judged to be on the ladders of worldly success. They feel worthwhile as individuals if the numbers beneath them in achievement, talent, beauty, or intellect are large enough. Pride is ugly. It says, “If you succeed, I am a failure.”

If we love God, do His will, and fear His judgment more than men’s, we will have self-esteem.

and:

Pride is the great stumbling block to Zion. I repeat: Pride is the great stumbling block to Zion.
