Oh boy, a self-important writer creates a platform to validate their own words as "authentic" because the world obviously needs *another* GitHub clone. 🙄 Apparently, battling impostor syndrome requires a full-blown software development project now. 🥳

So let us look for beauty and grace, for love and friendship, for that which is creative and birth-giving and soul-stretching. Let us dare to laugh at ourselves, healthy, affirmative laughter. Only when we take ourselves lightly can we take ourselves seriously, so that we are given the courage to say, “Yes! I dare disturb the universe.”

It's critical to remember there is a difference between being sure of one's self and arrogant. Acting self-important hurts not only yourself and your imagine, but damages those around you. Everyone will be better with less self-importance in the world. #selfimportance #selfconfidence #arrogance #imagine #life

A quotation from Richard Steele
Methinks a Man cannot, without a secret Satisfaction, consider the Glory of the present Age, which will shine as bright as any other in the History of Mankind. It is still big with great Events, and has already produced Changes and Revolutions which will be as much admired by Posterity, as any that have happened in the Days of our Fathers, or in the old Times before them.

For men ought not to be so elated by the dignity of the affairs which they have undertaken to manage, as to have no regard to their ease; nor ought they to dwell with fondness on any sort of ease which is inconsistent with dignity.

Self-importance can be detrimental, leading to damaged relationships, isolation, and various mental health issues. It is associated with arrogance, a lack of empathy, and an unwillingness to admit fault or learn from others. Stop the damage by opening up eyes and seeing the result. #selfimportance #life #damage

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
These illustrations suggest four general maxims, which will prove an adequate preventative of persecution mania if their truth is sufficiently realized. The first is: remember that your motives are not always as altruistic as they seem to yourself. The second is: Don’t overestimate your own merits. The third is: don’t expect others to take as much interest in you as you do yourself. And the fourth is: don’t imagine that most people give enough thought to you to have any desire to persecute you.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 8 “Persecution Mania” (1930)More info about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/788…

These illustrations suggest four general maxims, which will prove an adequate preventative of persecution mania if their truth is sufficiently realized. The first is: remember that your motives are not always as altruistic as they seem to yourself. The second is: Don’t overestimate your own merits. The third is: don’t expect others to take as much interest in you as you do yourself. And the fourth is: don’t imagine that most people give enough thought to you to have any desire to persecute you.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
