Self glory makes life meaningless, glorify God fulfills it

~ Indonesia123

Biggest tragedy of life is when God ask us to glorify Him for our sakes but we choose to glorify self for satan's good.

~ Indonesia123

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

~ Indonesia123

Greatest irony of life is living in self glory while glorifying God which is the ultimate joy is left behind.

~ Indonesia123

It is not reputation, fame, success or religiosity that glorifies God, it's slavery.

~ Indonesia123

The presence or calling of God can be no reasons but the guidance of God because of His glorification.

~ Indonesia123

The pain of the narcissist is that, to him, everything is really a threat. What doesn't surrender in reverence is blasphemous to a high opinion of oneself - the burden of self-importance. The narcissist reconstructs his own law of gravity which states that all things and all creatures must adhere to his personal satisfaction, but when they do not, the pain is far more intense than it is for one who is free from the clamors of 'I'.

~ Criss Jami

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

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

You and I were put on this earth to serve something greater than our narrow interests. When our focus becomes self-centered instead of God-centered we lose our greatest source of power. Our God-given talents are meant to benefit others. When we use them for that greater purpose, we put faith into action to fulfill His plan for us. We make a difference in this world that helps prepare us for the next.

~ Nick Vujicic

There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.

~ Miguel Ruiz

When I was a student, there wasn't a single thing we did that was unrelated to others. It was all for the Emperor, or parents, or the country, or society—everything was other-centered, which means that all educated men were hypocrites. When society changed, this hypocrisy ceased to work, and as a result, self-centeredness was gradually imported into thought and action, and egoism became enormously over-developed. Instead of the old hypocrites, now all we've got are out-and-out rogues. Do you see what I mean by that?

~ Sōseki Natsume

Yesterday i was clever so i took the glory for me. Today HE makes me wise so i give the glory to HIM.

~ Indonesia123

Sweet wine makes drunk, sour wine (insult) is tetelestai. Life is not about what we have done and become, but how God to be fully glorified.

~ Indonesia123

Whatever we have in the glory of man is away. Those are just not enough before we go home to the glory of God.

~ Indonesia123

Yesterday I was clever, so I took the glory for me. Today He makes me wise, so I give the glory to Thee

~ Indonesia123

If we glorify God (not self) in everything we do then everything on earth will glorify God.

~ Indonesia123

If I see God as nothing more than a caricature of history or imagination I cannot do anything less than make myself my own ‘god’. And once I realize that in doing so my rendition of being a ‘god’ is embarrassingly inferior to the very caricature I am mimicking, I quickly come to realize that maybe the only thing that can be ‘god’ is a God. And if that is the case, I suddenly find myself hounded by the stunning reality that God is not a caricature.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

A sense of messianic purpose makes the national interest almost indistinguishable from the political interests of the president.

~ Ron Suskind

The change from self-centeredness to human-centeredness is the key to peaceful existence.

~ Lailah Gifty Akita

False humility is quite like the worst of both worlds: both that of Meekness and that of Conceit.

~ Criss Jami

When we're constantly thinking about ourselves, our world shrinks.

~ Seth Adam Smith

How can one ever do anything nobly Christian, living among people with such petty thoughts?

~ George Eliot

I am most thankful for what I don’t have, for had my life’s wish list been filled in the manner I had chosen I would be steeped in meaningless trinkets verses bathed in God’s treasures.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

If it’s about me, I can be assured that there will be a bunch of empty chairs in the auditorium of my life; save the one I’m sitting in.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

I think myself so terribly ‘clever’ that the need for God is blatantly irrelevant. And all the while, in the rapidly growing mess that I’m ‘cleverly’ creating, I rather quickly begin to realize that the only thing that is relevant is His relevance.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

Cultivate the understanding that the self is not really an independently existing entity, and begin to view self instead in terms of it's dependent relation to others. Although it is difficult to say that merely reflecting on this will produce a profound spiritual realization, it will at least have some effect. Your mind will be more open. Something will begin to change within you. Therefore, even in the immediate term there is definitely a positive and beneficial effect in reversing these two attitudes and moving from self-centeredness to other-centeredness, from belief in self existence to belief in dependent origination.

~ Dalai Lama Xiv

The only person that deserves a special place in your life is someone that never made you feel like you were an option in theirs.

~ Shannon L. Alder

The most capricious modern entitlement is not just Social Security but to self-esteem.

~ George F. Will

Seeing myself or my church or my denomination as the blessing — like so many mission trips to help those less fortunate than ourselves — can easily descend into a blend of benevolence and paternalism. We can start to see the poor as supporting characters in a big story about how noble, selfless, and helpful we are.

~ Nadia Bolz-Weber

Failure to recognize one's own absolute significance is equivalent to a denial of human worth; this is a basic error and the origin of all unbelief. If one is so faint-hearted that he is powerless even to believe in himself, how can he believe in anything else? The basic falsehood and evil of egoism lie not in this absolute self-consciousness and self-evaluation of the subject, but in the fact that, ascribing to himself in all justice an absolute significance, he unjustly refuses to others this same significance. Recognizing himself as a centre of life (which as a matter of fact he is), he relegates others to the circumference of his own being and leaves them only an external and relative value.

~ Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov

We are molding Jesus into our image. He's beginning to look a lot like us because, after all, that is who we are most comfortable with. The danger now is when we gather in our church buildings to sing, and lift up our hands in worship, we may not actually be worshiping the Jesus of the Bible. Instead, we may be worshiping ourselves.

~ David Platt

There are ultimately only two possible adjustments to life; one is to suit our lives to principles; the other is to suit principles to our lives. If we do not live as we think, we soon begin to think as we live. The method of adjusting moral principles to the way men live is just a perversion of the order of things.

~ Fulton J. Sheen

The shape of evil is much more superficiality and blindness than the usual list of hot sins. God hides, and is found, precisely in the depths of everything.

~ Richard Rohr

Alex Rodriguez seemed not to fit in with the rest of his Yankee teammates. For instance, he wanted a clubhouse attendant personally assigned to him, when there were four or five for the whole team. Seeing the rift between him and the rest of the team and how Rodriguez's major focus on how HE was perceived, Joe Torre suggested in the individual meeting that Rodriguez at least get his own coffee rather than send someone to get it for him. Later that day, Alex Rodriguez made a point of telling the manager that he got his own coffee – drawing attention to himself, even in what was meant to be just an example of how he could fit in with normal behavior.

~ Tom Verducci

One of my biggest challenges is figuring out how to shoehorn my newfound knowledge into conversations.

~ A.j. Jacobs
