Ego took control without noticing❤️🔥
3 lessons I've learnt from reading Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
I've recently finished reading Ego is the enemy and I'm currently going through my highlights to process it.
Here's 3 lessons I've learnt so far:
1. Awareness is the first step to progress
Ego impacts our life in subtle ways without our knowledge.
It's a hidden saboteur that can knock us off course without us knowing.
The first step to gain control is be aware and accept it has influence over you.
2. Ego is a plaster to cover fear
Ego is a plaster to cover over your fear and insecurity.
It provides a temporary fix, instead of a long-term solution.
The real solution is to face our fears and insecurities.
3. Don't believe your own bull****
A simple mistake ambitious people can make is to get absorbed into the stories you tell yourself.
You start to believe your own bullshit
This creates a barrier between what we think we know and what we need to know.
This is where ego gets to work.
It pressures the barrier and creates cracks.
Once it's in, it widens the cracks.
It starts to widen the gap between what we think we know and what we need to know.
The solution is to always remember lesson 1.
