Buying into the hype can get you into a lot of trouble, believing your own press.
People make the mistake of drinking the Kool-Aid, believing your own hype, letting people tell you you're this or you're that or you're too this.
If you hype something and it succeeds, you're a genius - it wasn't a hype. If you hype it and it fails, then it was just a hype.

Every time I am in danger of believing the glamour of my own press, some incident inevitably brings me back to earth.
You can't believe your own hype, or your own worst moments. Neither is as important as knowing your "why." The harder the challenges are, the more this matters.

A journey awakens all our old fears of danger and risk. Your life is on the line. You are living by your own resources; you have to find your own way and solve every problem on the road.
The easiest way to not believe your own hype is to not know what people are saying about you.
