When Your Ego Is In Charge

You are where you are because your ego wants you to be there. You hate where you are. You don’t want to be there, but your ego says, ‘It is the best place for you.’

The question is, ‘Is where you are the best place for you? Is it making you happy? Are you getting what you want? Are you growing? Are you adding value to your life? Are you adding value to other people? Are you expanding your social connections?

Are you in charge of your life? If things are not going well, you can make things better. If you are struggling to find your voice, you can find your voice. If you are not where you are supposed to be, just know that you are making progress.

Do not forget that great things take time. If you want to achieve great things, you have got to be patient with yourself.

Your ego is there to protect you. But if you don’t act, if you don’t question what you are doing, if you are not doing what you think you should be doing, your ego is going to run wide. You will never know what is going on in your world. Why is that? Because your ego wants you to live in the same place. Your ego wants you to be safe, to play a safe game. Your ego wants you to believe that you are the smartest in the world, that no one is smarter than you, that you know everything, that you don’t need to ask for help.

Don’t let your ego be the boss. If you want to win in your life, you must be the boss, your own boss. How do you do that? You start by taking your life into your hands.

If you are not comfortable with something, do not tolerate it. Question it. If you are scared of doing something, ask yourself why you are feeling the way you are feeling. Don’t settle for small things.

Whatever it is that you want to achieve in your life, you can make it happen. The question is, ‘Who is in charge of your life? Ego? Or you?

Why It Is Okay To Look Stupid Sometimes

Why is looking stupid really good for us? Why is doing crazy things good for our health? Why is doing stupid things really good for our happiness? Why?

Because we are human beings. Human beings are human beings. We want to be human beings.

It is okay to do what you do, the way you do it, and stay true to why you are doing it. Do not pretend to be who you are not. That is what some people do when they don’t want to look stupid.

They want everybody to like them. They want to look perfect. They want to be the smartest people in the room.

If you are the smartest person in the room, you are not going to grow. You are not going to learn anything. And you are not going to take anything away. Above all, you are not in the right place. You are in the wrong room. If you want to grow, you must change your position.

You must be willing to look stupid. Looking stupid is the best way to learn, to know what we don’t know, to rewrite our stories.

Looking stupid is not really looking stupid. It is looking smart. When you are comfortable looking stupid, you are comfortable with failures. You are not afraid to make mistakes. You are just being you, the real you.

That is what we need if we really want to grow, if we are serious about changing the world around us.

You can do a lot of things for yourself when you are willing to look stupid, not when you are presenting who you are not.

If you want to really make a difference in your life, do not be afraid to screw things up. Do not be afraid to shake things up. And do not be afraid to live your values.

You can change anything in your life if you are not concerned about getting everything right, if you can stop worrying about being the best.

If you can just be yourself, you can do anything. The question is, ‘Will you?’
