The greatest curse in the world today is self-centeredness.
A New York phone company surveyed 500 telephone conversations. What was the most common word? “I”- occurred 3,900 times in the five hundred calls.
Such a lifestyle calls for changes. We actually have to change how we live life.
Here are a few practical ways to do this:
1. Try getting through today without talking about yourself and what you’re doing. Instead, ask others about themselves and what they are doing.
2. Try listening to someone else’s story without talking about the same thing that happened to you (even though yours might be bigger, better, longer, funnier, nastier…).
3. Once a day for the next week, help someone else get what he or she wants. And let it mean you’re not going to be able to do what you want.
4. Go any place that’s important to you and view of seeing what you can give rather than what you can get.
5. Write results in your Journal.
