About This Quote
Directing praise to oneself is to cash in on the ego in order to bankrupt the soul. When you give yourself credit for all of your good deeds, it creates the illusion that you are more than just a physical being. This can lead you to think that you are more than just a human, which is not true. That’s why you should not credit yourself for everything good that happens; your good deeds should be credited to God, or whatever higher power you follow.
