Deflate now, my altered, inflated ego. Pride comes before a fall.
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid." Proverbs 12:1
"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." Matthew 6:24
I can't possibly serve 2 masters. Literally.
