Satan fell through Pride.
Isaiah 14:12-15 CSB
[12] Shining morning star, c how you have fallen from the heavens! You destroyer of nations, you have been cut down to the ground. [13] You said to yourself, "I will ascend to the heavens; I will set up my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of the gods' assembly, in the remotest parts of the North. [14] I will ascend above the highest clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." [15] But you will be brought down to Sheol into the deepest regions of the Pit. …

But you need to change your mind.
Look at Jesus.

When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
save in the death of Christ, my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them through his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

Philippians 2:1-4 CSB
[1] … If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, [2] make my joy complete by thinking the same way, having the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. [3] Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. [4] Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. …
