Moving from vanity to humility.

Almost everything we say indicates whether we tend toward humility or vanity. When we start to listen to our own conversations, we should look for “Then, I said. . .”, “Then, I did. . . .”, “I want/need. . .”, “I’m going to. . . .”, “I’m buying a new/some new. . . .(s)”

It’s amazing how often such phrases occur in our conversations. After we’ve started to notice them, we should try to eliminate them.

Easier said than done.
