Who is in control you or your ego?




    Do you find yourself continuously looking for approval from others? Do you find it difficult to accept when you're wrong? Do you become defensive when someone questions your beliefs? If you responded yes to any of these questions, it's important to consider whether your ego is under control.


    Your ego is the part of your mind that is in charge of your self-esteem and self-importance. It is the part of you that desires to be correct, to feel superior, and to be acknowledged for your accomplishments. While a healthy ego is vital for self-esteem and confidence, an over-inflated ego can cause problems.


    When your ego becomes out of control, you may become overly wedded to your beliefs and thoughts. When you are challenged, you may find it difficult to listen to others and may even get defensive or violent. Conflicts and strained relationships might result, as well as a lack of personal growth and development.


    When you are in control, on the other hand, you can listen to others and consider other points of view without becoming defensive. You can confess when you're wrong and are willing to learn and improve. This can result in more good and productive interactions, as well as personal development and growth.


So, how can you know if you are in control? Here are a few indicators:

1.     You can listen to people and consider their points of view without becoming defensive.

2.     You are willing to learn and grow, even if it means acknowledging when you are mistaken.

3.     You can let rid of your ego to reach a common purpose or resolve a quarrel.

4.     You can notice and regulate your emotions rather than allowing them to rule you.


If you struggle in any of these areas, it may be time to concentrate on controlling your ego. Here are a few possibilities:

1.     Mindfulness and self-awareness should be practiced. This can help you detect when your ego is taking control and respond in a more balanced manner.

2.     Seek out feedback and be receptive to constructive criticism. This can help you gain perspective and identify places where your conduct may need to be adjusted.

3.     Exercise humility. Recognize that you are not always correct and that learning from others is beneficial.

4.    Work on controlling your emotions. This can include seeing a therapist or practicing techniques like deep breathing or meditation.


    Controlling your ego is critical for good relationships and personal progress. You may enhance your relationships and become a better, more well-rounded person by identifying when your ego is out of control and taking efforts to moderate it.

Will Over Talent

We often hear about the importance of talent in achieving success. We are told that in order to make it big in life, we must possess some extraordinary talents that set us apart from others. But what about those of us who don't have that innate talent? Can we still achieve greatness? The answer is a resounding YES! Because it's not talent that defines us, but our willpower, determination, and perseverance. Let me tell you a story about a man named Thomas Edison. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest inventors in history, but did you know that he was once expelled from school for being "too slow to learn"? Despite this setback, Edison never lost his thirst for knowledge and kept experimenting with various inventions until he finally invented the light bulb. He famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." This is a prime example of how willpower and determination can lead to success, regardless of one's ta...
