Ryan Holiday and his book ‘Ego is the Enemy’ is still impacting me
Just the other day I saw how my ego and ultimately insecurities can get in the way of my progress or even in a simpler way, my enjoyment of life
Pride and insecurities are two sides of the same coin. Both are ultimately emotions the ego uses to protect itself
There’s nothing harder than letting go of something when you feel like you’re in the right. That entitled feeling causes me to hold on to the ‘wrongs’ done to me like my life depended on it
My ego flares up, my pride comes to the forefront and in that moment, if left unchecked, I could behave in ways that could alter my life for the worst
Ego will always be with me. Ego will always seek to ‘protect me’ and ego will also get in my way if I leave it unchecked
So will yours too if you let it
Be well
