Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.

From James 1:22-24:  “But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.  For if any are hearers of the Word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like.”

It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.  

From 1 Peter 5:5:  “. . . And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'”
