1. Thank God. Often and always. ‘Thankfulness
is a soil in which pride does not easily grow.’
2. Take care about confession of your sins. ‘As
time passes the habit of being critical about people and things grow more than
each of us realize.’
3. Be ready to accept humiliations. ‘They can hurt
terribly but they can help to keep you humble.’
4. Don’t worry about status. ‘There is only one
status that Our Lord bids us be concerned with, and that is our proximity to
Him.’
5. Use your sense of humour. ‘Laugh at things,
laugh at the absurdities of life, laugh at yourself.
