Look at me, I'm......

We all need to think about how this sentence applies to us by filling in the last word.  All of us have something by which we classify ourselves as noteworthy.  Whether it be our appearance, our talent, our intelligence or a skill, whether developed or natural.  It's called pride.
I really want to emphasize the point of self examination, not others examination.  It is very, very easy to see and criticize the sins of others,  but usually not so with our own sins.  So the question then is, how do we finish this sentence?  And then immediately following, what can I do to change this mentality?
Very much like exercising, we need to find and work on our weak points.  One very important point in our lives as Christians is sanctification.  We need to be finding sin in our lives and root it out.  We will never succeed at this if we spend our time judging others and ignoring our own sins. 
So where is our source of pride?
