If I ask you to list down all the miseries of your life, all the problems that you constantly encounter, regardless of its nature, its one way or another connected to your ego. Just remember all the times you feel angry, jealous, sad, if you dig deep into every single of these emotions, you will get to the same root, which is your ego!
Ego is this fundamental problem that exists within each and every single of us that causes most of the miseries that we experience throughout our lives, that's why Your Ego is your worst enemy!
So let's try to find out how you can defeat your worst enemy!
Now let's find out how to defeat your worst enemy.
But first of all, let's know what Ego is:
When we think about Ego, we automatically relate it to a selfish and arrogant person who cares about nothing but himself, that's why you call him Egoistic, and although that has something to do with Ego, it's something much deeper than that.
Regardless the position you are taking in your life, you're ego is always there to distract you and delude you by drawing a completely different image of yourself and your life in general, which is far away from reality.
After making your first million or signing a good contract, your Ego misleads you to think that you conquered the world and that you have achieved the heights of power or mastery, but what we need to know is that absolute mastery is unattainable, the world is constantly evolving, and changes are happening continuously, and if you want to stay in the top, you need to constantly show humility to always show up every day and keep hustling, because Ego will make you believe that you are in the shoulder of a giant and the rest of the world benieth your feet, getting you into a confort zone that will drag you all the way back to your beggining.
When you fail, your ego will find someone or something to blame, so that you keep feeling like the perfect human on earth.
Never act like you are already on top of the world because the journey to the top of the world is what makes this life interesting.
Always maintain the mindset of a student who always tries to learn and improve. And that approach to life, that will keep your ego in control and keep you away from all the miseries that it causes.
Remember that Ego isn't something you can simply get rid of, because it's a part of us, a part of the human nature, and that's not the point of this post.
What you need to do is realize that it deceives you so you can take control of it and prevent it. Cultivate a sense of humility, diligence, and self-awareness that will keep your Ego in check.
