Your ego is your sense of self esteem and self importance. It can be an upgrade or downgrade to your life. The ego is what mainly controls your emotions, thoughts, feelings and actions. People fail to understand that your ego doesn’t have to define you nor is it always accurate. Ego is what makes a general statement or opinion seem personal; so personal that now you have an emotion towards the speaker that is negative. STOP TAKING SHIT PERSONALLY. In reality, most people aren’t even thinking about you.

There is a huge difference between confidence and ego. Confidence is normal and healthy but egos are destructive and catastrophic. If you can’t tell the difference, please read carefully. Your confidence is your motivation to move forward. Your ego is what makes everything a competition no matter who the opponent is. Don’t let your ego take over because pride goes before the fall. Simply put, when you accentuate too much ego into your ability to do things, something bad will happen that shows that you are not as good as you think. Thus, you must learn to humble yourself.
