The sense of self-importance has nothing to do with self-esteem. In the process of losing self-importance people can achieve even greater self-esteem than before. Self-importance leads to the fact that you choose self-restraint in actions, which do not correlate with people's habits, standards and notions about "appropriate" or "normal" behavior. The importance of their own forces to protect their "I" from any suspicion on the part of others that no one had any doubt that you always do the "right thing". The trap here is that it's not yours and someone else's idea of what is "right." When you feel in your heart that your beliefs and actions are correct (e.g. swing on a swing), why do you need to justify to someone in their motives or actions? Just let others have their own opinion and if you choose something, thank others for their contributions and then act accordingly its ultimate intention, not caring whether your actions to the perceptions of other people about their accuracy. If you act thus, you will find that you opened a whole new world - exciting and challenging. You should try everything! And don't forget that there is no failure - only feedback. Always keep in mind that you can do anything in this world, as long as you are willing to accept the consequences. The sense of self-importance - it is a sort of filter of our belief system that determines a list of possible consequences, accept the unacceptable. This limits us. Get rid of self-importance and a profound indifference to itself, and you get close to unlimited power.
