Get Over Yourself

“In humility consider others better than yourselves.” Philippians 2:3 (NIV)

Columnist Rick Reilly gave this advice to rookie professional athletes: “Stop thumping your chest.  The line blocked, the quarterback threw you a perfect spiral while getting his head knocked off, and the good receiver drew the double coverage.  Get over yourself.”

The truth is, every touchdown in life is a team effort.  Applaud your teammates.  An elementary-age boy came home from the tryouts for the school play.  “Mommy, Mommy,” he announced, “I got a part.  I’ve been chosen to sit in the audience and clap and cheer.”

When you have a chance to clap and cheer, do you take it?  If you do, your head is starting to fit your hat size.
