narcissistic

If I__ conceited enough to believe I__ invincible, then maybe it will take me doing the very thing I swore I would never do to understand that I__ not as wonderful as I thought I was.

The thing that I__ most likely to collapse under is not the weight of the stresses that stand around me, but the ego that sits within me.

Ego is borne of the need to __rove_ oneself instead of making the choice to __e_ oneself. And so maybe we need to begin curbing the birthrate.

If I can__ quite figure out what an ego is, all I have to do is look for the thing that__ killing itself in the very act of feeding itself.

If I__ my biggest fan, the only person in the stadium is probably me.

I can confidently state that the greatest rescues in my life have occurred when I__e been saved from myself.

If it__ about me, I can be assured that there will be a bunch of empty chairs in the auditorium of my life; save the one I__ sitting in.

If it has anything to do with me, it has nothing to do with sacrifice.

If I simply look at the map that I__e so tediously created, it will explain why I__ laying at the bottom of this cliff looking up.

People that have trust issues only need to look in the mirror. There they will meet the one person that will betray them the most.

If I am indeed my own god, I__ better start praying to myself to get myself out of myself.

This conversation with myself has an overwhelming aroma of narcissism.

Courage is God's way of testing the virtues you profess to have and your level of commitment to everything you think you are.

Narcissistic personality disorder is named for Narcissus, from Greek mythology, who fell in love with his own reflection. Freud used the term to describe persons who were self-absorbed, and psychoanalysts have focused on the narcissist's need to bolster his or her self-esteem through grandiose fantasy, exaggerated ambition, exhibitionism, and feelings of entitlement.

I am selfish by habit, but sacrificial by nature. Therefore, I__ be wise to develop the habit of following my nature.

No other being is lesser human than the one who thinks of others as such.

If I see God as nothing more than a caricature of history or imagination I cannot do anything less than make myself my own __od_. And once I realize that in doing so my rendition of being a __od_ is embarrassingly inferior to the very caricature I am mimicking, I quickly come to realize that maybe the only thing that can be __od_ is a God. And if that is the case, I suddenly find myself hounded by the stunning reality that God is not a caricature.

In one way or another, every mission that I have ever set out on to rescue myself is yet another mission that I end up needing to be rescued from. Hence, there is God.
