Symptoms of Self

Pride is a disease. I have dealt with the symptoms of pride for years but did not recognize that the root cause of these symptoms was service to self.

The following are posts I have written on each of the symptoms that manifest themselves when I am self-centered. They are contrasted with the positive attributes that result from placing God at the center of your life.

• Gratitude: the alternative to grumbling
• Servant of God: the alternative to people pleaser
• Submission: the alternative to control issues
• Listening: an alternative to an uncontrolled tongue
• Contentment: the alternative to comparison
• Patience: an alternative to anger
• Letting go of perfect…
• You are gifted. I am gifted. God is the giver.
• Modesty: the alternative to attention seeking
• Accepting help: the alternative to doing it all
• Accountability: the alternative to criticism
• Close Frienships: the alternative to self-sufficiency
