I did it. This makes me better than other people. I was given this opportunity to enjoy and to accomplish. I am not better, just fortunate. Take a few moments and think about something in which you take pride.
People are often proud of their physical strength, health, and good looks.
Although a person can improve these with exercise and diet, these are essentially gifts of birth. Yet people often boast about these things. The bottom line is that everything we have is a gift from God. Arrogant people have trouble acknowledging this. They don't want to accept that God has helped them, because they don't want to relinquish pride in their own accomplishments.
