Scatter-brained

Reading Luke 1 this morning and ran across this line from the Magnificat.

"he (God) has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts."

I've heard of being scatter-brained, but I'm wondering what this is exactly. It seems to be saying that the proud become lost in their own delusional imaginations. I'm guessing that primarily it is to operate from the myth that they can handle whatever comes under their own strength.

Where am I approaching life in this way? Am I scattered in my own imagination? Would the opposite of this be a togetherness or a central focus on the thoughts of God's heart?
