2. Selflessness

Today's focus will be on selflessness! That's a mouth full...let's say "not being selfish".
Phillipians 2:3 states "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain coneit.  Rather in humility value others above yourselves."  I'll give you a minute to let that marinate......................ok, let's discuss.
Now, what if God were selfish when handing out blessings? What if He only blessed those whom he felt were deserving? Some of us would be in trouble, huh? (self included).  God blesses us in spite of...when we are not worthy!  He blesses us so we can be a blessing to others....pass the message! Don't be selfish and keep the blessings all to yourself! 
Sometimes we get so caught up in self (me me me). It is okay to admit this, because we are all guitly.  However, when acknowledging the fact, you should be willing to make the necessary changes.

 Here are a few ways to overcome selfishness:
1. Remind yourself that the world doesn't revolve around ::insert name here::
        You mean there are other people in this world besides me??? Yes, honey get over yourself :)

2. Volunteer to help others.  Time > Money
        Sometimes seeing others in need brings us back to reality.

3. Take other's feelings into consideration.
      When someone comes to you for advice. LISTEN. God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth (utilize!)

I have a meeting at 2 and I'm running out of time so I have to cut this post short! But please remember God knows you better than you know yourself....He created you! He is willing to help you work through these acts of selfishness, but you have to seek His guidance! 
When you put "self" aside you are opening up and letting God have his way in your life....and that's when blessings start to flow.  I never want to block my blessing by being selfish :)
