Selfishness

Unselfishness: How does that happen? Maybe you're like me - the bug of self has burrowed deeply into your heart. How does that vile bug get exterminated?

Paul points us to the attitude of heart that is winsome to others and toxic to the self bug:
NLT Philippians 2:3 Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
I don't think the Holy Spirit is wanting us to become like Disney's Eeyore - complete with a depressed attitude and low expectations. Rather, we should just have a quiet heart attitude of servanthood to others. This is my goal - not always how I perform - but it is my goal.
