Pure in My Own Eyes

We have an uncanny ability to be selfish and deceitful all while looking in the mirror and thinking well of ourselves. Proverbs made that observation a long time ago: "the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes." (Proverbs 12:15) The most common person we lie to is ourselves...about ourselves. We exaggerate the other person's contribution to an argument while minimizing our own. Ask yourself, "If I was my co-worker, child, spouse, would I be frustrated interacting with me?" Stop lying to yourself.
