This video has such a powerful message. I am so guilty of not doing things because I'm afraid of how I'll look, or that people will think I'm silly, or stupid. That's pride. While I have erased pride in some areas of my life, there are many, many, many others that I still need to go through, and actively weed out this destructive emotion.
I love that Matthew says that we must be students in our own lives, because ultimately, that's what I've been trying to do. I am trying to learn as much as I can from every experience I go through. It can be from watching people interact on the train during my commute, how I interact with someone at work, how I stand up for myself with a family member, or how I watch a neighbor treat others. Regardless of whether the lesson was positive or negative, at least I know what works, and what doesn't. And, thus, can put this knowledge and experience to use in my own life, to positively affect those around me.
