My All not worth apprehending

"And say my glory was I had such friends"

-William Butler Yeats-

Something i'm unable to comprehend for years.

Ego and its antics

With great ego comes great responsibility







Ego is an exaggerated sense of self-worth.

It’s a survival mechanism.

It creates an internal fantasy of self-superiority to protect itself.

It keeps getting angered because

the real world consistently fails to supply it with the validation

that it "deserves".

Herein lies the problem.

Those strict internal standards that your ego upholds act as

an internal barrier is likely working against you.

Your ego can often confuse the difference between what’s most appropriate and

what’s "right" for you.

And this is where you can trip over yourself.

You’ll end up doing what’s “right” because

you feel it’s the only way to go.

Opportunities may be zipping by you but

you have deemed them inappropriate.

What’s “right” is not necessarily

what’s most appropriate in the real world.

Great ego might just land you on the FHM cover.

Who knows ?
