Someone else wrote this list, but I thought it was great.
Here are some SELF expressions that need changing to a Christian perspective. Just think how we'll be acting when we do!

SELF-CONTROL (GOD-CONTROLLED)
SELF-ASSURED (GOD-ASSURING)
SELF-CONFIDENCE (GOD'S-CONFIDENCE)
SELF-ESTEEM (GOD-ESTEEM)
SELF-MOTIVATING (GOD-MOTIVATED)
SELF-RIGHTEOUS (GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS)
SELF-SERVING (GOD-SERVING)
SELF-INITIATED (GOD-INITIATED)
SELF-IMAGE (GOD'S IMAGE)
SELF-AWARENESS (GOD AWARENESS)
SELF-FULFILLING (GOD'S FILLING)

It just shows how our everyday language is so self oriented, and how as Christians we must remember it is ALL about Jesus. And how we are to die to self and live in Christ.

Blessings to all

I have never thought about it that way! Changes the whole perspective, doesn't it?
