It's not all about us. It's about how we treat others, serving others, putting others above ourselves. For most of us(well, for me at least!) that does not come naturally. But we are to follow the example that Jesus set for us.
Think about this-Jesus, God himself, the creator of the universe, put aside His crown, came down to Earth and washed the disciples dirty feet! Just picture that. And that is the example we are to follow: to humble ourselves and to serve and help others.
"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you."
-John 13:14-15
God is love. He sent Jesus here to die for us to show us how much He loves us. And because we are loved that much, we are to love others. I know that I need to do a much better job of this!
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another."
-John 13:34
