It is true that we should not look to increase our own glory.
”It is not good to eat much honey: So for men to search their own glory is not glory.“
Proverbs 25:27 KJV
What then does Father mean when he says this?
”He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;“
Romans 2:6-7 ESV
I think the answer is in which source we want glory from. Here he lists two different ones:
”But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.“
Romans 2:29 ESV
Men can praise us, or God can. If the idea of God praising you seems strange, like it does to me, that’s what the Bible says. A famous example is when Father says, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” Matt 25:23. (Praise is different from worship, if you think about it.)
So we can choose. We can seek the glory from man that is small and short-lived, or seek the glory that comes from The Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty, Who Is, and Who Was, and Who is to Come.
