my food for thought of the day: (horoscopes by Free Will Astrology)
Some spiritual traditions regard the ego as a bad thing. They imply it's
the source of suffering -- a chronically infected pustule that must be
regularly lanced and drained. I understand this argument. The ego has
probably been the single most destructive force in the history of
civilization. But I also think it's our sacred duty to redeem and
rehabilitate it. After all, we often need our egos in order to get
important things done. Our egos give us the confidence to push through
difficulties. They motivate us to work hard to achieve our dreams. Your
assignment, Aquarius, is to beautify your ego as you strengthen it.
Build your self-esteem without stirring up arrogance. Love yourself
brilliantly, not neurotically. Express your talents in ways that
stimulate others to express their talents.

I was just thinking yesterday that being creative requires behavior that many find objectionable: playful and arrogant. Playfulness lets the mind be creative in ways that seriousness simply does not allow, for good evolutionary reasons. Arrogance is what lets us believe we can do it when others have not.
