The best conversations are those which promote equal billing. By that I mean both parties get to share equally and one person is not always redirecting everything back to themselves. You know what I mean. Every time you start a story about your life, somehow it ends up talking about their life.<\/p>\n

Some people see the whole world from their own box seats. It always irks me when I’m with such a person but it does have a valuable side effect. It makes me wonder if there are times when others are irked with me for the same reason. I bet they are. I’m as guilty as the next person now and again.<\/p>\n

Then I’m reminded of this; “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself.”<\/b> (Philippians 2:3) The give and take of a conversation is a perfect opportunity to analyze just how often we each fall into the “it’s all about me” trap.<\/p>\n

Reviewing a conversation afterward is a good time to honestly admit who took top billing. If the answer nine times out of ten is ME something is wrong. Maybe it means a willingness for the other person to fulfill that scripture in Philippians but an un<\/i><\/b>willingness to practice it ourselves?<\/p>\n

One who craves top billing won’t mind that though. They will consider it only right because after all, isn’t it really<\/i> all about me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
