Don't praise yourself; let others do it!
Let's be honest, we all want to be recognized for a job well done. We all want to feel good about our achievements, the nice possessions we have or even our good deeds. Sometimes, however, our pride takes over and we begin to bring praises upon ourselves. It's not wrong to do this, but there is a better way to enjoy your exploits and deeds. Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:1 to, "Take care! Don't do your good deeds publicly, to be admired, because then you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven." With anything that you do or undertake, do it to glorify God. When you approach your life in this way, God gets the glory and then in His pleasure, He blesses your life.
