I need to make a note of these things from Humility: True Greatness by C J Mahaney - what better place than here...
ALWAYS
1. Reflect on the wonder of the cross of Christ
AS EACH DAY BEGINS
2. Begin your day by acknowledging your dependence upon God and your need for God
3. Begin your day expressing gratefulness to God
4. Practice the spiritual disciplines: prayer, study of God's Word, worship. Do this consistently each day and at the day's outset if possible
5. Seize your commute time to memorize and meditate on Scripture
6. Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you
AS EACH DAY ENDS
7. At the end of the day transfer the glory to God
8. Before going to sleep, receive this gift of sleep from God and acknowledge His purpose for sleep
FOR SPECIAL FOCUS
9. Study the attributes of the God
10. Study the doctrines of grace
11. Study the doctrine of sin
12. Play golf as much as possible
13. Laugh often, and laugh often at yourself
THROUGHOUT YOUR DAYS AND WEEKS
14. Identify evidences of grace in others
15. Encourage and serve others each and every day
16. Invite and pursue correction
17. Respond humbly to trials
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11 [ESV]
