Sober thinking on Spiritual Gifts...

Romans 12:3-8 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. 
The key starting point for thinking about spiritual gifts is "We, not me."  The pull of the old sinful nature is self-centeredness.  We focus on ourselves, think about how wonderful I am; we lose sight of the fact that we are part of a body, and we need all the other parts.  We need to stop searching for what the Body can do for us, and think about what we can do for the Body.
