What if I told you the ego is taking a pretty bad wrap these days?
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
ego: noun
1. a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.
The American Phycological Association explains, an individual with a strong ego is one who is able to tolerate frustration and stress, postpone gratification, modify selfish desires when necessary, and resolve internal conflicts and emotional problems… (dictionary.apa.org)
On a scale of 1 to 10, how strong is your ego? Think about that for a moment...
I found Iyanla Vanzant's perspective on ego interesting:
Without the ego, you could not make steps toward self-improvement, self-development, or self-empowerment.
It is only when the ego is left to its own devices, when it’s not tempered by the power of prayer, self-discipline, and the influence of the spirit within that it becomes a problem.
Are you ready to check up on your ego...What are you willing to do?
Don’t miss your opportunity. Be intentional. Encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
