- They make the choice to be selfish. We must make a decision to be selfish, even if we don't fee like it. I have found that as you act on your decision, the feelings come more.
- They take for granted the joy of giving. Not only will an unselfish act bring joy to others, but the giver will receive joy as well.
- They have unrenewed thinking. We're all born naturally selfish, but that doesn't mean we must stay that way. We need to put selfless thoughts in and selfish thoughts out.
- They're unthankful. Unthankfulness will cause people to become selfish. People who are unthankful stop recognizing the goodness of others; therefore, they develop an unwillingness to give.
