The fruit of self-centered lives is anxiety.

 And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two female servants. And he put the servants with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all. He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. Genesis 33:1-4 (ESV)

We are often anxious about things that could or might happen. Jacob was a deceiver willing to take from his family for personal gain. He lived with the guilt of his evil, and the pain of knowing he had wronged his brother haunted him. When he thought of Esau, he probably thought of how he would have responded if their roles were reversed. His obvious guilt and running away from the problem caused his anxiety.

All of this could have been avoided by doing what was right or, after failure, humbling oneself and doing whatever was necessary to make it right. Esau slept fine, while Jacob tossed and turned with worry. In the end, Jacob saw his anxiety as a total waste of time and energy.
The fruit of self-centered lives is anxiety. The fruit of the Spirit is life and peace. For now, the choice is ours
