Good morning Col Burroughs. Way too many people allow themselves to be tripped up or overly impressed by their own accomplishments. When you do that, you become a roadblock for yourself both intellectually, spiritually and socially. Let go of your need to push yourself forward and you will go a lot farther in the long term.

And to think my ex wife always accused me of having a big ego. Then she wanted a divorce partially because she didn't want to admit she screwed up when she had an affair. But it was me who had a big ego.

SSG Shawn Mcfadden - many people like to blame their issues on others. It keeps us counselors in business.

I expect that your humility and kindness have grown significantly over the years. I also expect that you are proud of the achievements of those you love. There is nothing wrong with being proud of achievements of others since we are admonished to rejoice with those who rejoice Charlie.
I pray you that I are encourage our family members and friends who are struggling during the SARS-Cov-2 risk period. I pray that we are each becoming more selfless, less jealous, and kind. LORD I pray that prompt us to applaud achievements of others and grieve with those who grieve loss. ‘Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.’ [Romans 12:15-16 ESV], my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters are increasing in humility without being humiliated. 'Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” [1 Peter 5:5-6]
I pray that each elected and appointed official who is YOUR adopted son or daughter in the USA, UK, Australia, India, Mexico, and Canada is becoming more humble, selfless, and compassionate for the constituents in there are of responsibility. Let YOU love shine through each to draw others to place faith in YOU.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and your loved ones slept well Wednesday night and woke up healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - I suppose. However, that was 5 years ago. All that's barely a memory now.

PO2 (Join to see) - They definitely can Jeffrey and in our bsuiness of the military services (former business for some of us) there is no place for it, but it still shows up it's ugly head. Let me leave you with this final thought Jeffrey:
"May you never allow your personal "EGO" or anyone else's "EGO" to become a distraction on how to achieve or reach your goals and objectives in life. Listen for the quality of what your soul is speaking to you and not the quantity of what an "EGO" desires and whispers in your ear. May you always have a positive attitude and never become hostage to your "EGO!" May you always take the very best care of yourself; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Kick away the "E" and 'EGO' and just 'Go' for what is ahead of you in life with humility. Don't be concerned with how wonderful you are!" - COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
