self-centered

In one way or another, every mission that I have ever set out on to rescue myself is yet another mission that I end up needing to be rescued from. Hence, there is God.

Maybe what I need to be rescued from is the feeling that I don__ need to be rescued, for without a doubt this is the most difficult rescue of all.

The best I can do is to __retend_ that I__ my own god. But in the pretending I have to pretend that I__ not pretending, and somehow that doesn__ sound very god-like to me.

The sacrifice __f_ self for the greater good is the greatest calling imaginable, and it is the bedrock of the greatest nations. The sacrifice __or_ self is the most pathetic calling imaginable, and it is the quicksand within which nations perish.

Liars are highly unlikely to admit their lies, never mind apologize for the hurt they__e caused. Liars don__ genuinely apologize. Deceit has become their full-out lifestyle. They are centered on themselves with no thoughts of the consequences of their lies. In cowardly style, they tell more lies to try and cover their tracks. They are not good at admitting they actually have shortcomings.

To embrace an attitude of humility is to free myself from myself. And that is likely the great liberation of all.

The assumption of __ights_ is the cancer of privilege.

I pretend to give gifts that people pretend to be gifts so that I can pretend that I gave something that actually cost me something. And what pretending or this sort gives me is the gift of a pretend life.

The assumption is that if I expend myself for myself in the end all I__l be left with is myself, and that alone is frightening. But what I__e failed to consider is that I have to expend so much of myself living for myself that in the end I__ really left with very little of myself, and that is unimaginably frightening.

At the time we glorify self instead of glorify God, at that time we are wasting our time as... God is Time.

Sacrifice of the self is sheer stupidity if sacrifice is not for the self.

The problem is not that we don__ recognize the truth when we hear it. The problem is that we don__ want to recognize what the truth might mean for us if we hear it.

Empowered Women 101: A confident and faithful woman that loves herself and knows what she is capable of creating will attract the right man that will want to be part of that plan. God won't bring her a man that she has to mold into what she wants him to be. A relationship is about two people helping one another grow, not just one.

You will find your true spirit when you lose your egocentric, self-centered desires and fill your mind with pure love and non-judgmental thoughts.

Anger gets you into trouble, ego keeps you in trouble.

Patriotism is the narcissism of countries.

I pretend to give gifts that people pretend to be gifts so that I can pretend that I gave something that actually cost me something. And what pretending of this sort gives me is the gift of a pretend life.

Love in the service of self is greed in disguise.
