Self-centeredness
It's NOT all about you!
A self-centered person is too interested in themselves and not caring about the needs or feelings of other people. A self-centered person is devoted to self-gratification or putting oneself first; another term is self-absorbed. It is ironic that putting oneself first leads to a destruction of oneself.
Pride or Arrogance
Pride or arrogance in relationships is when you can’t admit fault or mistakes, and you’re above instruction or correction.
It really gets bad when you try to justify it in spiritual terms. Pride will destroy your soul, your relationships, your mind, and hope for the future.
Discontentment
Discontentment is being mentally or emotionally dissatisfied with things as they are.
Today it is rare that we find anyone who is truly content with his or her condition in life. When you constantly seek after more of the things of this world, you are never contented with where you are in life. The bumper sticker that reads “He with the most toys wins!” epitomizes the world’s cravings for more and more. In the United States alone, credit card debt averages more than $16,000 per household, and we are still discontented.
This adds a lot of stress to your life and it will rob you of peace and joy. There’s a difference between being content and satisfied. Being content is having joy where you are, not being satisfied is when you have dreams you wish to pursue.
