I heard a really neat quote on Air1 or K-Love this afternoon...I think it was Air1. I don't remember exactly word-for-word what the DJ said, but it was something along the lines of this:

We have become addicted with ourselves and Jesus is the only one who showed us how to quit cold turkey.

How did he show us? He served others. The DJ had been talking about how freeing it is when we finally learn how to get over ourselves.  And the way we do that is look beyond ourselves. Nothing compares to the feeling you get from doing a service to other people.
