𝐓𝐨𝐩 5 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 "𝐄𝐠𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲".

𝟏. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

"Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, your worst enemy already lives inside you: your ego."

Since pride is in us, it is either we feed it or starve it.

How you deal with your pride makes the big difference.

𝟐. 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞

"Your ego is not some power you’re forced to satiate at every turn. It can be managed. It can be directed."

As soon as you feel you are becoming egoistic, boastful, and proud – you can tell yourself to stop.

𝟑. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤, 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧.

Ego encourages you to lift yourself and base your worth on nothing or false worth.

On the other hand, humility tells you how important it is to listen to people.

𝟒. 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭

Ego tells you not to listen to anyone.

As a result, you stop learning.

When you become a student, you lay aside your pride.

You admit to yourself that you don’t know everything.

So, if you want to keep on learning, learn to be humble first.

𝟓. 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭

Ego focuses on self.

Humility focuses on others.

If you want to become great, you need to help other people become great.

That’s just how the universal law works.
