The Purpose Driven Life Day One

I am reading The Purpose Driven Life with Ranada and KHallmon and a few more bloggers. It is supposed to help me figure out God's purpose for my life. It't not a self-help book, more like self-actualization. The point to remember is that it is not about me, but about God. That's a tough one because I am a bit self centered and it is always about me. I'm not selfish or inconsiderate and I don't mind helping others, as long as I won't get hurt. I don't think I would risk my feelings in order to save someone else's. KHallmon says I have difficulty admitting when I am wrong and she's probably right, but that's beside the point. So pretty much, I have to remember that it is not about me. It's easy to say it's about God because I don't literally see him everyday. I know he is most important and without him, I am nothing. However, I am going to have to get it in my head that it is not about me. I need to actually question what would Jesus do when I find myself in difficult situations, rather than asking what is best for Ashley.
