I absolutely cannot stand when someone meaning well gives me the advice: "Look out for number one first". I am NOT number one in my book. I am only one of 7,000,000,000 people. How can I call myself numero uno, when the vast majority of those are in a much worse situation than I am in? Most of my problems downfalls have been caused by myself, not from just bad circumstances. I was born in America into a loving home. Not into a home where my parents saw me as a source of income. I have always had running water. I did not have to walk miles to a well just to get a bucket of water that still needs to be disinfected. I always had food on the table. I've never needed to wonder when my next slice of bread was coming let alone next meal. I never had to worry that I was going to die due to lack of proper health care. I never had to worry about any real problems that were outside of my control. All of my issues have started with me. My smoking. My Cussing. My white lies. My lust. My former marijuana habit. It all began with me. I can only move forward by remembering
Philippians 2:3-4 "Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also the interests of others."
