“The enemies of ego are:
1. Self awareness
2. Concern for others
3. Remembering what matters most”
Good morning!
Ego is our sense of self:
self worth
self esteem
self importance.
With an inflated ego, I feel superior, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. That is, I have a feeling of being all powerful, all knowing, and that my presence everywhere!
What an arrogant, pompous ass am I?! God-complex much?! 🧐🙄😞
Then, with my deflated ego, I’ve gone the complete 180 (not 360 like some people incorrectly say - 180 is opposite of where you are, 360 is a complete circle so your at the same point)…
See! I can’t help myself. I’m talking about a deflated ego, and I break off into an explanation “be informative and offer good information”. I justify it by the fact I was “simply clarifying for all to be on the same page”, but I’m actually setting myself up as being superior or more informed.
Like it or not, it comes down to ego.
Self awareness, concern for others
and remembering what matters most help me keep my ego in check.
Balance is key.
Yes, I’ve been eating a lot of humble pie, as I’ve been working on my self awareness, my self worth, my self esteem, and self importance.
Again, Balance is key.
Have a wonderful, wonderful Wednesday!
Much love,lisa
