The idea of self-reliance seems to be to make decisions for yourself and not feel insecure about what people think of you. You must not conform and decide what you think is best for you so that you may represent your diviness in your life because it is your life and is not controlled by an overall religion. "With concistency a great soul has simply nothing to do," meaning when you keep carrying on the same old thing its boring and gives you less and less meaning to what your life could be.
I think this is a could example of trancendentalism because it teaches you that conforming is bad and that accepting an overall religion is sort of lieing to yourself because your to afraid of what others will think of your own ideas on life and reality. "To be great is to be misunderstood," this shows how you will transcend farther than others if no one understands you since you are doing something individually and ignoring the fact people don't get you.
