"Make the decision that you will take the humble position in your family. This is difficult to do, but God will reward you. Starting today, look for opportunities to humble yourself with your brothers and sisters. Here are some possible ways: Be willing to listen to them instead of talking about yourself. Ask for their help and advice. Consider your siblings more important than yourself. Be willing to do things their way. Don't make all the decisions. Let others be the first to tell the latest news. Say, 'I was wrong,' and explain why. Ask forgiveness. Share your struggles. Be quick to give in when there is a problem. Never put them down by joking about them. Express gratefulness and thankfulness for the ways they benefit your life. Be willing to do the things no one else wants to do. Look for ways to serve them. Submit to them. Try to fit into their schedule, rather than forcing them to fit into yours. Let them have the best (places to sit, things to eat, things to have, etc). Le them win the argument. Don't defend yourself when they criticize you."
