Deny Self

What does it mean to deny self?
Is it essential to developing maturity?

Have you ever thought
that you might be wrong?- Snoopy

An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.
-- Solzhenitsyn

"But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."

-- Matt 16: 23-25 kjv
