As I work my way through a lack of humility and trying to develop more, I'm realizing that the lack of humility isn't just a "one dimensional" way of thinking.
It's connected with a whole bunch of other types of thoughts.
Here's what I identified:
When things don't go my way
When I feel like I'm doing everything
When I want recognition
When someone points out my flaws
When I'm not willing to accept I'm wrong
When I feel others can't accept they're wrong
These are the types of patterns which triggered this uncontrollable intensity in my mind.
The beauty is, being able to identify each individual thought pattern, and being able to reflect on them and let them go... That's where the work is.
The other beautiful thing is, how rapidly I "come to my senses" and realize "Hey, I'm the one that's wrong here because I have this filthy thinking"
It's only a matter of time until that way of thinking is completely gone and the mind is pure and clean.
But until that point where it's all gone, it seems the best course of action is to "unpack" each if these ways of thinking, because they're all clustered together in one horrible manner...
