To really live sacrificially you have to fight the urge to be recognized by people. Instead gift the recognition you want to those you see that deserve it. The Bible teaches this well. I think many religions do too, I am sure though.

Think of the worst person you know. There is only a thin line between you and them. The distance is measured by your decisions and upbringing.
