Spoke about ego today. Explored things I hadn't really thought about before just to see what I could unpack. Had a blast. Enjoy. Apply to work with me: https://thepodpro.com/apply Follow on…
Do you think that ego is bad, and that we should play our part in trying to eliminate it from our life entirely? You see, I used to believe this for quite a long time.
But then I realized that the pursuit of deleting your ego is an ego-driven pursuit.
I've been playing around with this concept a lot because I've been trying to get to the bottom of ego, and I don't think that it's about eliminating it.
The important thing we need to recognize is we need to make it not be in the driver's seat.
We need to allow ourselves to not let ego decide the decisions that we make and steer the ship that we're driving through this thing called life.
And I've dove deep on this, and I've spent many early mornings thinking about ego because I question myself.
I question myself, am I saying things from the lens of being in a moral high horse? Am I elevating myself above everyone else because I'm not fueled by ego? Because I used to be, and then I've grown and overcome that, and now I'm not fueled by ego.
Or is that an ego pursuit as well? And yeah, I don't have the answers for this, and so this podcast is exploring this.
There's a couple of cool things that I'm gonna draw on today, things that, um, I can read you, quotes from people that I love, and hopefully we can come up with some cool stuff during this conversation.
