The Greek myths loved to talk about the perils of hubris, the dangers of believing you can outrun the will of the gods. 

Humility makes you good, but ego makes you great. 

If that means flying a little too close to the sun, well, that's a risk we're willing to take. 

On our best days,  you feel invincible, like you can do no wrong

 But inevitably, our hubris catches up with us. 

In those awful moments, we're left with nothing but the wreckage of our shattered egos.

 And we're in total free fall.
