RE: A Fun Guide To Playing (& Winning) Splinterlands (Even Though I Haven’t Played It)

You're 100% correct. I avoid 'being humble' and see it as something society has way too much of.

If Beyonce calls herself a 'good singer', it's fine. If Gary Vaynerchuk calls himself 'good at business' it's fine. Hawking was great at math, physics, cosmology, etc. but I don't know if I'd be looking to him to how conduct oneself as a human, or in what ways, and what times to be humble. In fact, he's likely smart enough to realize he's not an expert in this area. I on the other hand have poured tons of research into humility's place in people, society, life.

I'll call myself 'smart' 'til the day I die, because I am. It's like a tall person calling themselves 'tall.' Nothing to take issue with. It's a gift I'm blessed with, and one I've dedicated my life to refining, and I'm not hiding it in a closet, pretending I don't have it, or downplaying it. :) The majority of people this tends to bother are people hiding their own gifts, afraid to proclaim their own value.

Regarding your other remark, thank you! And thanks for taking the time to comment and share your input. I never even had a collection to ditch, and still don't, so you're a step ahead of me there, lol. Wishing you a great day! 🙏

The Ego uses humility to deceive us...

Lesson 239

The glory of my Father is my own.

1. Let not the truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. ²Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. ³Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? ⁴And can it be that we are not among them, when He loves His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created him?

Yay! I read ACIM when I was 20, then Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch, and before that was raised on the bible by two devoutly Christian parents. ;)

Here's one for you:

"Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house." - Matthew 5:15 🙏

And thank you so much for posting this, very interesting stuff @danielvehe , you rock!

Well shit, I do hide my smarts, because people are intimidated by people better then they. (; well played sir.

All good man, I know you're a smart dude, and I respect it. I'd love if it you joined me in 'owning' it rather than hiding it. For me at least, it took me way too long to learn this, and I'm super happy when someone else gets it. Wishing you a great day sir! 🙏

I love that one and I use it a lot when people are embarrassed to express their personal brand, because of what people will say.

Yesss! You get it, Daniel, that's a great use of the quote. :) 🙏
