I know it's not exactly in line with RYF's wording, but could it be that
the context -- that one is bragging about something they acknowledge they
accomplished in partnership with the Almighty -- not on one's own --
and according to His Will, is an approriate thing to brag about? Midas
hadin is invoked ("hashkifah"), but if you did everything right, the
resulting din is a good thing!

GCT!
