How To Use Your Ego

 A Guide for the men on A Mission.

Men mostly are unaware of the potential their ego has, for that tho you need to use it in the right way.

It is absolutely crucial that you don’t feel you deserve everything without work for that shall surely lead to your doom.

For you deserve everything the universe has to offer only when you work for it. It is of no surprise that constantly working in any endeavor yields success.

Your ego should not be your enemy but should rather be your greatest ally.

The definition is,

a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance is EGO.

It should aid you in situations where you feel threatened and insecure by helping you realize your true value.

On contrary tho, it should also be curbed at times to prevent tricky or dangerous situations.

Expressing anger or ingratitude when you win at something demonstrates hubris, which in turn detracts from the beauty of your accomplishment by infecting it with crudeness.

Hubris:- a personality quality of extreme or excessive pride or dangerous overconfidence, often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance

Be humble in success and egotistical in struggle, for ego is attractive in struggle, but redundant in achievement. (Examples can be cocky stars and celebs)

Ego is beautiful when one is to an extent it attracts people like magnet.

If you are not very good at something and want to get better at it, ego is your worst enemy. It will render you impervious to constructive criticism, robbing you the introspection necessary to fix your flaws. It can hamper your progress and growth alike.

In short, when you’re trying to improve, humility is the path to competence and ego will cause you to suffer immeasurably.

Do not trust your ego when you’re struggling to get something right, it’ll deceive you; be rigorous and ask yourself “is this logical?” followed by “is it true?” (This is the best road-map from my experience though)

If you cannot convincingly tailor your demeanor to a person and the stakes are high, do not emulate them at all. Your inability to convincingly complement them will be seen as an affront, and rather than be respected for being alike, you will be disrespected for appearing false. Sometimes it is so obvious that it’s weird, and yeah it is OBVIOUS!

People at the top have a weird sense of balance and hence are good at conversing with almost EVERYONE!

In this instance, your go to strategy should be to employ passionate humility. Flexibility is only falsity when its unsuccessful, falsity is no more than the failure of finesse, an inadequate attempt at mimicry that results in ostracization. It shall also lower your value as a person.

Ending Note: -

the stoic is a bore and the narcissist but a fool, the wise man knows what he must be, and is what he must be when he must be it.
