Helaman 13:22
"Ye do not remember the Lord your God in the things with which he hath blessed you, but ye do always remember your riches, not to thank the Lord your God for them; yea, your hearts are not drawn out unto the Lord, but they do swell with great pride, unto boasting, and unto great swelling, envyings, strifes, malice, persecutions, and murders, and all manner of iniquities."
When we think of our worldly possessions before thinking of our God we are in trouble! When our things become more important to us than our relationship with our Father in Heaven, then we are on the path to misery. What are these things compared to God? What happiness comes of pride? None. Rejoicing in pride only makes us more unhappy because we will never be satisfied. With God, we can be happy and ever improve our selves to be like Him. I choose to thank God for everything and I know that will help me stay humble.
