To often we act out of pride and lose the people we love because of our ego. Our ego is our fake sense of self-esteem and self importance. Purposefully there for everyone else to see. It is what we want people to think of us. Which is why I titled this post
'Starve the ego, feed the soul'
Your ego is not you. It's coating your low self-esteem and self worth, your hiding underneath it and not being who you truly are. You don't need ego to show high self worth because you actually become that. True winners are people that abandon their ego, don't read this senseless garbage in motivational books about ego being essential to be a winner, your competitive nature or desire to succeed has nothing to do with ego, it is embedded within you.
Don't be afraid to show emotion to show, to show that you love & care for someone. Ego will replace that emotion for pride, anger and rejection, scorn and picking holes in other people, as so to avoid yourself.
Ego leads to what I call
Attack of the ball sacks or Battle of the nipples
I say this because of how endlessly pointless living in ego can become, especially because its not the real you.
Life is so short & so fast. The shoes you have on today may not fit you next year. What upsets you now will be a distant memory in the near future, why is it we create problems that don't really exist. Out of thin air we find problems in things around us, in others & ourselves instead of observing the moment and truly reflecting on what we really should be thinking about.
Many people have ego for different reasons, usually it's to hide something you really don't want someone else to know. People say the nastiest things to protect there pride or protection from embarrassment. Not really meaning what they say & do.
Face yourself & what your hiding from. Don't be ashamed to say that you have emotions and feelings towards a situation, feeling embarrassed or sad doesn't make you any less of a person it makes you brave for being a bigger & better person. For wanting to deeply move on from your past & what's blocking you to a better future.
Apologise when necessary & don't live in regret, don't live in your ego. Your ego is a senseless version of you, who only cares about how people perceive you, you are bigger than your ego, overcoming your ego may sometimes feel like your losing your mind. It's not your mind, losing your ego is being the true you.
Value things in life, feel express & be
Starve The Ego, Feed The Soul
