True enough. Though I'm more afraid of "abusing" my power/going to far if I don't keep everything in check than outshining people. And there's emperical evidence to support that (though I'd really rather not talk about that), until I get that other thing under control, I think I'd rather keep everything on a low level. For example, confidence quickly turns into arrogance for me. Which is so NOT cool.
but oh how I wish it were so. It's a really nice thought, and I'd say it applies to almost everyone I know. I even forwarded it to a friend of mine, who I think should take it to heart.
Of course other people issues are easier to solve. D'uh. :P
But seriously. This kind of thing only works when you've got something to build on. When the very thought of doind that/lifing your life like that not only has you quivering in fear, but chokes you... learn to crawl before you walk, is all I'm saying. If I tried that today... I'd probably have a nervous breakdown before the first hour is up. It is a (mental) place I hope to reach someday though. 100% is probably impossible, but, you know, "some of the time" would definitely be an achievement - and completely doable. I think.
