1. Follow the truth wherever it leads…even if it leads to “you were wrong.”
2. Invite and pursue correction and counsel.
• We are blind to ourselves…allow others speak truth your life
• Allow others to confront you with the truth about yourself
• Seek wise counsel
3. Learn from everyone…even our critics
• Even if the source of our criticism is bad, there is still something to learn
4. REPENT quickly and thoroughly
• Don’t make others force you into repentance
• Say, “I am sorry”
5. Seek and celebrate God’s grace in other Christians
• Praise and encourage others even if you don’t “feel like it”
6. Cultivate a spirit of thankfulness
7. Listen to Scripture more than yourself
8. Exalt the Name of Jesus in all you do
• Do what makes Jesus look good
9. Laugh
• Proud people have no sense of humor…they can’t laugh at themselves
• The truth is that we are all “ridiculous”…we provide so much good material
10. Sleep
• Proud people don’t sleep well…they are focused on how they look to others

Very interesting. So simple...yet so tricky.
I agree with Insomniac. So simple yet so tricky. I love this list. I'm going to make this my new year's to-do list. Something to strive towards. A little late for the New Year's Resolutions, but not so late for the Chinese New Year :)
