There is a common belief that Bhava of Generosity can be directed towards only somebody else and not towards the self. This is one kind of fallacy. We will be able to keep Bhava of generosity towards ourselves if we have practiced and learned to keep such Bhava towards others. During the process, we will be able to do appropriate evaluation of our own beliefs, feelings, strength, successes and failures. That would prevent us from becoming dogmatic, obstinate and a narrow mind person with a limited knowledge.
