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.
