"The strictest daily discipline is necessary to hold these passions in check. The flesh must learn the painful lesson that it has no right of it own. " - Richard Foster Celebration of Disciplines.

The pride of life = pretentious egoism

the lust of eyes = the tendency to be captivated by the outward show.

The result of this daily discipline of the flesh will be the rise of the grace of humility.

There is a difference between choosing to serve and choosing to be a servant.

Reflection on life:

• I told friend to call if he cannot find the umbrella last sat when it was pouring. then when he asked me
  ask "does that mean that i will go over even in the pouring rain?" I
  hesitated. I simply said "call me if u really cannot find one."
  ==> obviously, still need work on my "selfless"
  
  
• last week, a friend of
  mine need sb to witness her documents for submission of an
  application. her dad was in critical condition at hospital. I managed
  to find a "selfless" friend who do not know my friend at all. She is
  willing to go to hospital that night to witness the document even she
  has to work overtime that night till 9pm.
