Day 1387 - Jul.17.22 - Ego can be your downfall

Ego can get you to the top but it can also be your downfall. Overconfidence and arrogance can work in certain situations but it ultimately leads to self-destruction and unhappiness. You’re not that special. You’re not better than anyone else. Your life means no more in the grand scheme of things than anyone else’s. Yet we use these societal barometers like job title, number in our bank account or material goods to prove to other people that we’re better than them. Let go of that. Never let your ego take you too high. The amount of luck that had to happen for you to get here is nothing short of a miracle. You are a miracle like everyone else on this planet. Meaning you are everything and yet nothing. Regardless of which side of the spectrum you believe, understand the world doesn’t revolve around you and gives no fucks about you. Your ego and drive may get you so far, but your reputation and character will keep you there. Don’t take shortcuts, always be fair but fight for what you believe in and don’t let anyone make you believe you can’t make it. Have a strong internal ego and belief but a humble personality because you have to believe in yourself more than anyone else yet you only got here because of the help of so many others. You didn’t get here alone. Never let your ego take over and make you believe that you did.
