Thoughts on Not Thinking About My Self

One thing has been ruminating in me lately:

I'm a better person when I'm not thinking about me.

How many vices could be avoided if I followed this logic? I wouldn't constantly admonish myself to be altruistic toward others. I would not remind myself to think of how God would not be glorified by my actions. I would not fall into the throws of dispair.

By default if I am not thinking of my self, I will be thinking of everyone else. What a more productive and dare I say, Christlike way to live.
